Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Ms. Tehmina Janjua called on Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi on Aug. 21 at the start of her three-day visit to China.

During the meeting, the Foreign Secretary reaffirmed that friendship with China is the cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign policy, and reiterated Pakistan's support for China on its core issues.

Yang Jiechi noted that the recent visit of Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang to Pakistan to participate in celebrations commemorating the 70th anniversary of Independence on Aug. 14 was in keeping with the long-standing traditions of the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative partnership.

Both sides acknowledged that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is the flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and early completion of projects would bring tangible benefits to the people of both countries.

Yang Jiechi and Ms. Tehmina Janjuar also discussed regional and international situation.

Following her meeting with Yang, Ms. Tehmina Janjua addressed researchers, scholars and academics at the China Institute of International Studies (CIIS) on "Foreign Policy of Pakistan and regional and global situation," which was followed by an interactive question and answer session.
