He will co-chair the 5th Pakistan-China Foreign Ministers\u2019 Strategic Dialogue with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two sides will comprehensively review Pakistan-China bilateral relations including economic and trade cooperation; high-level exchanges and visits; upgradation of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and future connectivity initiatives,\u201d the statement said. The two foreign ministers are expected to discuss the possibility of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s visit to Beijing.
