On February 18, 2025 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan Mohammad Ishaq Dar at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Wang Yi said, this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. It is necessary to take this opportunity to renew the founding mission of the United Nations, practice and promote multilateralism, and reform and improve global governance. In response to the current deficits in peace, development, security and governance faced by the international community, China has proposed hosting this Security Council high-level meeting, aiming to pool more international consensus and develop common solutions. China is ready to work with the international community, including Pakistan, to promote the meeting achieve positive outcomes and accelerate the building of a just and equitable global governance system.

Wang Yi stated that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners, and the two sides have always trusted and supported each other. Not long ago, President Xi Jinping and President Asif Ali Zardari held a successful meeting, injecting fresh impetus into the ironclad friendship between China and Pakistan. China prioritizes relations with Pakistan in its neighborhood diplomacy and will continue to uphold justice and speak up for Pakistan on international occasions. China will seek greater synergy of development strategies with Pakistan, in particular, deepen cooperation on agricultural modernization and industrialization, and help Pakistan enhance its capacity for independent development. China hopes that the Pakistani side will take effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, projects and institutions in Pakistan.

Dar said that President Asif Ali Zardari's visit to China was a great success, taking the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership between Pakistan and China to a new height, with cooperation in various fields advancing efficiently. Pakistan admires China's remarkable progress in the development of modernization and looks forward to strengthening high-level exchanges with China and seeking greater synergy of development strategies. He also extended his wishes for the full success of the upcoming Two Sessions of China. Pakistan attaches great importance to and will make every effort to ensure the safety of Chinese institutions and brothers and sisters in the country. Under the current circumstances, China's proposal for hosting this Security Council high-level meeting cannot be more appropriate. Pakistan appreciates China's leadership in the global agenda and will continue to work closely with China and support each other.
