Event Summary

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged Pakistan to intensify its mediation efforts between Iran and the United States to resolve their ongoing conflict and ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan has already brokered a two-week ceasefire and facilitated initial talks in Islamabad, though these sessions ended without a formal agreement. The United States and Iran continue to exchange proposals, with Iran rejecting the US's latest offers. The diplomatic push comes ahead of US President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing, where he is expected to discuss the Middle East situation with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The prolonged standoff has disrupted global energy supplies and caused regional instability.
