Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Beijing from Saturday to Tuesday (23-26 May) for talks, the Chinese foreign ministry said, without specifying whether the war in Iran would be discussed.
"The leaders of China and Pakistan will have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and issues of common concern," ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a press conference on Thursday, adding that "China supports Pakistan in playing a fair and balanced mediating role in promoting peace and ending the war."
