WNAM REPORT: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad on Wednesday for a three-day visit for talks with his counterpart Ishaq Dar, according to Islamabad’s Foreign Ministry.
Wang, along with Dar, will co-chair the sixth round of the China-Pakistan strategic dialogue.

It is his second visit to Pakistan in three years. He will also meet Pakistani leadership.
China and Pakistan are neighbors, and the two established diplomatic ties in 1950. In recent years, China has become a top arms supplier to the South Asian nuclear-armed nation, and the trade volume hit more than $23 billion in 2024.
The two enjoy an “all-weather strategic cooperative partnership” with the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor — a more than $62 billion infrastructure project to connect China’s strategically important northwestern Xinjiang province with Balochistan’s Gwadar port in southwestern Pakistan, attaining crucial significance in ties.
