Beijing, China: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Beijing from Saturday May 23 to Tuesday May 26, 2026 for talks, the Chinese foreign ministry said.

"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."

The two countries have both sought to mediate in the Middle East conflict, sparked by US and Israeli strikes.
