Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Pakistan on August 20–21, 2025, to attend the sixth Pakistan–China Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue in Islamabad. Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will co-chair the meeting. The visit highlights the strength of the Pakistan–China all-weather partnership and shows how both sides are preparing to deepen cooperation in politics, security, trade, and regional peace.
Pakistan and China’s all-weather friendship explained
Pakistan and China share a unique bond that has lasted for decades. Their friendship is often described as “higher than the Himalayas and deeper than the oceans.” This means that no matter how global politics change, both countries remain close allies. Over the years, China has become Pakistan’s biggest development partner, helping build infrastructure, energy plants, and industrial hubs.
Pakistan, in return, supports China’s main interests at the international level. Wang Yi’s visit to Islamabad once again shows that this bond is not only symbolic but also practical, with both nations working together on real projects and future planning.
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor development and future growth
A major focus of the talks will be on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. This flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative connects Pakistan’s Gwadar Port to China’s Xinjiang region through a network of roads, railways, and energy plants.
Pakistan hopes that CPEC will bring jobs, improve transport, and boost trade. China also sees CPEC as a gateway to regional connectivity, including possible future expansion into Afghanistan. Both sides will use this dialogue to review progress, solve existing challenges, and set new goals for the future of this transformative project.
The purpose of the sixth strategic dialogue is to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in all major areas. Leaders are expected to review progress on ongoing projects and discuss ways to expand their economic and political partnership.
Security cooperation and regional stability in South Asia
Security has always been a key concern for both sides. Pakistan and China will discuss ways to improve counter-terrorism cooperation and ensure the safety of Chinese workers in Pakistan, especially those working on CPEC projects.
At the same time, the two countries will also review the broader situation in South Asia. With tensions between Pakistan and India and ongoing instability in Afghanistan, the dialogue will provide an opportunity to coordinate their positions and work together for regional peace.
