Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif embarked on a four-day official visit to China from May 23 to 26, aiming to enhance economic cooperation and strengthen ties under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). His delegation includes notable figures such as Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Minister of Planning Ahsan Iqbal. In Hangzhou, Sharif is set to engage with local officials, participate in a business forum, and meet CEOs of major Chinese firms, including a visit to Alibaba's headquarters for investment discussions. Following this, he will travel to Beijing for high-level meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations. The visit is expected to reaffirm the Pakistan-China All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership, focusing on cooperation in various sectors including trade, agriculture, and IT. Additionally, regional tensions, particularly the US-Iran conflict, will be on the agenda, reflecting the close coordination between Pakistan and China on Middle Eastern peace efforts.
