ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar will co-chair the seventh round of the Pakistan–China Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue in Beijing today, Sunday, during which both sides will review bilateral cooperation and identify new avenues of partnership, state media reported.
The Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue is the highest consultative mechanism between Pakistan and China, providing a structured platform to review the entire spectrum of bilateral cooperation, as well as regional and international developments of mutual interest, Pakistan’s foreign office said in an earlier statement this week.
Dar, who also serves as Pakistan’s foreign minister, will co-chair the high-level dialogue with his Chinese FM Wang Yi.
“The dialogue will review the full spectrum of bilateral cooperation, identify new areas of partnership and further advance the All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership between Pakistan and China,” state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported on Saturday.
Pakistan and China have longstanding strategic, political, economic, defense and cultural relations. Both Islamabad and Beijing maintain close coordination on regional and international issues, frequently supporting each other’s core interests at multilateral forums.
