Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has invited the foreign minister to pay a visit to the country, and the minister will be there at his request. In addition to attending the Ministerial Conference of Neighboring Nations, the foreign minister will meet with colleagues from other countries taking part in the meeting.
Qureshi disclosed that he will attend a number of bilateral talks with his colleagues from countries such as China, Russia, and Iraq, among others, during his tour.
“This [the talks] is a crucial platform for consensus-building,” he added, adding that the trip will be “completely filled” as a result of the discussions.
If you remember, Pakistan had established the Neighboring Countries format in September 2021 with the goal of developing a regional response to the situation in Afghanistan at the time. On September 8, 2021, Pakistan will host the first meeting of Foreign Ministers of Neighboring Countries, which will be held in Islamabad.

In a statement, Pakistan said that it will “continue to assist the international community’s efforts to promote the common goals of a peaceful, stable, sovereign, prosperous, and connected Afghanistan.”

Pakistan’s foreign minister said in an announcement issued by the country’s Foreign Office that the country desired good relations with all countries, and that other countries desired good relations with Pakistan as well – as evidenced by the participation of several countries in a recent meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s foreign ministers, which was hosted by Islamabad.

According to the statement, “Pakistan will continue to assist the international community’s efforts to promote the common goals of a peaceful, stable, sovereign, prosperous, and linked Afghanistan.”
