Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is on a three-day visit to India, will visit Pakistan on August 21 to attend the Pakistan-China strategic dialogue and hold meetings with the civil and military leadership to discuss bilateral ties as well as key regional and international developments.
The top Chinese diplomat will undertake a two-day visit beginning on August 21, according to a statement released by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during which he will review the current state of bilateral ties between the two countries and discuss key regional and international developments.

“The visit is part of the regular high-level exchanges between Pakistan and China to further deepen their ‘All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership’, reaffirm support on the issues of respective core interests, enhance economic and trade cooperation, and reaffirm their joint commitment to regional peace, development and stability.”
Wang’s visit to India came at a delicate moment as the two countries strive to overcome years of border tensions to reshape bilateral ties and revive suspended exchanges in the wake of a changing geopolitical environment led by US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs.
However, China’s close relationship with Pakistan has been a source of concern for India. The two countries have maintained close diplomatic, economic and military cooperation for decades. China is Pakistan’s chief defence supplier and has backed Islamabad’s claims on Kashmir.
Wang’s visit to Pakistan comes after a series of geopolitical developments, including the India-Pakistan conflict, the war between Israel and Iran, and an uptick in ties between Pakistan and the United States. China had maintained communication with both India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor in May, but the Indian Armed Forces later revealed that China was sending Pakistan information about India’s military assets.
