ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari reportedly paid an unannounced visit to the Chinese Embassy late Sunday night following the conclusion of four-party talks in the federal capital on the Middle East crisis, as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is scheduled to visit China on Tuesday.

According to official sources, the Presidency has neither confirmed nor denied the development; however, the visit reportedly took place shortly after the high-level consultations, indicating possible diplomatic engagement in the evolving regional context.
