Wang reaffirmed China’s five-point peace roadmap for the Gulf region, developed jointly with Pakistan in 2026, which aligns with global consensus on dialogue over confrontation. 💡 "The international community must unequivocally oppose actions that threaten this ceasefire," he declared, urging stronger support for peace talks.
Dar briefed Wang on Pakistan’s mediation efforts and thanked China for its stabilizing influence. Both nations pledged to deepen cooperation, with Wang stating: "China welcomes Pakistan’s greater role in turning temporary calm into lasting peace." 🌏
