He was received at the airport by senior Chinese officials and Ambassador of Pakistan to China, Khalil Hashmi.

During the visit, Dar will hold in-depth discussions with Foreign minister Yi on the evolving regional situation in South Asia and its implications for peace and stability.

“The visit forms part of the ongoing high-level exchanges between Pakistan and China.

It also underscores the two countries’ shared commitment to further strengthen the All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership,“ the FO said.

The visit by the deputy PM comes after Pakistan’s recent victory in a brief conflict with India.

During the war, Pakistan effectively deployed advanced Chinese-made J-10C fighter jets equipped with cutting-edge PL-15 missiles, playing a pivotal role in securing the win.
