Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, is scheduled to visit Beijing on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. The visit follows a high-stakes quadrilateral meeting in Islamabad where Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt discussed a permanent end to the U.S.-Israel-Iran war. According to the Foreign Office, the mission aims to brief Chinese leadership on these regional developments and solidify Beijing’s support for the “Islamabad Channel” , a diplomatic initiative to host direct peace talks between Washington and Tehran.

China, a primary investor in Pakistan through the $65 billion CPEC framework, has already signaled its backing for Islamabad’s mediation role. The discussions come as the global energy crisis intensifies; the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has forced Pakistan into a strict fuel conservation “hybrid plan” and triggered significant petroleum price hikes. While Islamabad has condemned Iranian strikes on Gulf neighbors and U.S. bases, it continues to leverage its strategic ties with both Beijing and the Muslim Ummah to advocate for a unified regional response and a swift reopening of maritime corridors.
