China's diplomatic arrangement is very clever! While Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India has not yet ended, we have already made a statement that Foreign Minister Wang Yi will immediately visit Pakistan after the end of his trip to India. On August 19, according to foreign media reports, foreign media reported that the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced at the regular press conference that Wang Yi would visit Pakistan and hold the sixth China-Pakistan Foreign Ministers' Strategic Dialogue.
Our spokesperson pointed out that China and Pakistan are ironclad friends and all-weather strategic partners, and the solid strategic trust and frequent high-level exchanges are distinctive features of Sino-Pakistani relations. We announced our visit to Pakistan while Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India was still ongoing. From India's perspective, this may be a bit provocative, making India think more. But why did we make this arrangement? Perhaps that is the ingenuity.
Undoubtedly, what does this arrangement indicate? It undoubtedly indicates that as our foreign minister visits India, India has a more rational understanding of our role in the India-Pakistan relationship. Through high-level face-to-face diplomacy between China and India, India now knows that we have no selfish interests in the India-Pakistan dispute. On the other hand, this arrangement also continues to consolidate relations with Pakistan, not forgetting old friends and good partners.
In fact, for India and Pakistan, our consistent position is to hope that both countries properly handle their differences and sit down together to seek development. Now that the China-India relationship has improved, this will inevitably have a certain spillover effect on the relationship between India and Pakistan. In a way, we are also willing to play an active role in resolving the two countries' conflicts. With close communication with India, mutual trust between China and India has been restored. Seeing our diplomatic moves, if India is willing to get out of the India-Pakistan conflict and ask us, we are willing to do our part.
