Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday called for Islamabad and Beijing to “really be together” in ongoing efforts to restore peace in the Middle East amid the US-Israel war on war.
He made the remarks during bilateral talks with his Chinese counterpart Li Qiang at the Great Hall of the People. PM Shehbaz landed in China on Saturday on a four-day official visit, reaching Beijing yesterday after making a stop in Hangzhou.
Addressing the delegation-level talks with Li, PM Shehbaz mentioned the Middle East conflict, saying that the “world is passing through a very critical moment”.
“I think we have to really be together, so that the world at large is at peace and business as usual starts again, because this crisis has hit not only the economy in the region […] but the global community,” he said.
