The Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, met with Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, in Islamabad for the sixth round of their Strategic Dialogue 🇨🇳🇵🇰. Here’s what went down:
- Implementing Leaders’ Consensus: They pledged to turn the latest top-level agreements into real-world wins, focusing on shared goals and stronger ties 🤝.
- Building a Community with a Shared Future: Both sides want to put people first by boosting regional peace and prosperity. Think more cultural exchanges, smoother travel, and win-win projects 🕌🎉.
- Upgrading CPEC: The famous China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is set for an upgrade in industry, agriculture, and mining. It’s like giving the old railways and roads a 21st-century makeover 🚜🔧.
- Tech & Cybersecurity: Time to dive deeper into IT partnerships and cybersecurity. Imagine joint hackathons, knowledge-sharing workshops, and safer digital neighbourhoods 💻🔒.
- Trade & Multilateralism: Both sides stressed the importance of playing fair on the world stage, pushing for multilateral trade and opposing one-sided moves 🌍⚖️.
Dar thanked China for its steady support, noting that Pakistan fully backs the one-China principle and will help ensure the success of the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin 🎯. He also vowed to keep Chinese projects and personnel safe across Pakistan.
For young pros and digital natives in South Asia and Southeast Asia, this is an example of diplomacy meeting development—where high-level talks translate into real-life opportunities for tech, culture, and business 💼✨.
