Islamabad – Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had a long phone talk Tuesday with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi. They went straight into the mess unfolding in the Middle East and how fast things are moving. Dar didn’t beat around the bush: Pakistan thinks the number-one priority right now is pulling the temperature down before it gets worse.
Wang Yi listened, then told Dar he appreciates how consistently Pakistan has been calling for de-escalation and some actual stability. Both sides agreed on one thing loud and clear – only talking and real diplomacy can fix this, and everything has to stay inside the lines drawn by the UN Charter.
Pakistan-China Bond Stays Iron-Clad
The chat naturally drifted to their own relationship. Dar and Wang called the All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership what it is: unbreakable. They promised again to keep pushing it forward, finding more ways to work together that actually help people on both sides.
At the end they said they’d keep the line open and talk often as the situation keeps shifting. No big announcements, just the quiet understanding that when the neighborhood is on fire, close friends need to stay in sync.
This call comes while the Iran war still burns and everyone watches for the next spark. Pakistan has kept saying the same thing for weeks – stop the bombing, start talking. China, as the biggest ally here, clearly shares that view. In tough times like these, a simple phone call between the two can signal to the world that at least some big players still prefer words over more missiles.
