Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will pay a visit to China later this week, Beijing said Wednesday.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Dar's three-day trip, which begins Friday, comes at the invitation of Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
The two top diplomats will hold the seventh round of the China-Pakistan foreign ministers' strategic dialogue, it said.
China and Pakistan are "all-weather strategic cooperative partners," and the bilateral trade between the two countries stands at around $23 billion.
