Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar has traveled to Beijing on a three-day official visit, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday.

The visit comes at a time of increased diplomatic commitment between Pakistan and China in the wake of continuous tension with India after the recent standoff over the Pahagam incident.

Discussions during the upcoming meetings that are expected to cover a number of bilateral and regional issues.

In Beijing, DPM will hold extensive conversations with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi, as well as other senior Chinese officials, including key members of the Chinese Communist Party. The meetings will focus on recent regional development and the multifaceted Pakistan-China relationship.

The ministry noted that the visit is part of the ongoing high -level exchange and reflects the continued strength of the strategic cooperative partnership throughout the weather between the two fraternal countries.

In a previous statement about the visit, Mofa said DPM Dar had been invited by his Chinese colleague Wang.

Afghanistan’s acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi is also ready to arrive in China on May 20 to attend a trilateral meeting between the leaders of the three countries.

During recent escalation with India, China expressed its support to Pakistan with the Chinese ambassador who confirmed the “sustained and time -tested friendship between China and Pakistan” and described the relationship as one of the “Ironclad Brothers” who has always supported each other in challenging times.

Pakistan armed forces launched a large-scale military action called “Operation Bunyan-EM-Marsoos,” and targeted several Indian military targets across multiple regions.

The strikes described by officials as “precise and proportionate” were performed in response to India’s continued aggression across the control line (LOC) and within Pakistan’s territory, which New Delhi claimed was aimed at “terrorist targets”.

Pakistan lowered six Indian fighter jets, including three rafale, and dozens of drones. After at least 87 hours the war ended, provoked by India, May 10 with a ceasefire agreement broken by the United States.

According to ISPR, a total of 53 individuals, including 13 employees of the armed forces and 40 civilians, were martyrated in Indian strikes during recent military confrontation.

The military confrontation between the two countries was triggered by last month’s attack in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), leaving 26 tourists died, with India accused Pakistan of the attack without providing evidence.
