China and Pakistan Foreign Ministers agree to launch new economic corridor projects
Pakistan and China pledged to expand economic cooperation and investment under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a flagship program of China's Belt and Road Initiative, officials said. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad on Thursday. The two sides agreed to launch new projects through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC, a flagship program of the Belt and Road Initiative, a Pakistani government statement said. The countries did not immediately share details of the proposed projects. Called 'One Belt, One Road' in Chinese, the Belt and Road Initiative has built power plants, roads, railroads and ports around the world and deepened China's relations with Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Mideast. It is a major part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's push for China to play a larger role in global affairs. Beijing has invested billions of dollars in Pakistan through CPEC, building roads, power plants and rail links to connect China's western Xinjiang region with the Arabian Sea port of Gwadar in southwest Pakistan, where some Chinese have been attacked by insurgents in recent years. The Foreign Ministers vowed to deepen collaboration in science, technology, industry and agriculture. Mr. Wang also urged Pakistan to ensure the safety of Chinese workers and engineers, who have come under attack by separatists in Balochistan province and elsewhere in recent years. Pakistan already has increased security for Chinese working on CPEC-related projects. China has long been one of Pakistan's key ally and financial backer, especially as Islamabad struggles with a prolonged economic crisis. The meeting came a day after Mr. Wang and Mr. Dar travelled to Kabul for a trilateral dialogue with Afghanistan's Taliban rulers on political and economic cooperation. Wang's stop in Pakistan also followed a visit to neighboring India earlier this week, where he held talks aimed at stabilizing strained relations between the two Asian giants.

‘Silence only emboldens the bully': Chinese envoy says ‘firmly oppose' US tariffs
Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong on Thursday accused the United States of acting like a 'bully', saying Washington had long enjoyed the benefits of free trade but was now weaponising tariffs as 'bargaining chips.' 'US has long been benefited greatly from free trade but now uses tariffs as bargaining chips to demand exorbitant prices from various countries. The US imposed tariffs of up to 50 per cent on India, and has even threatened for more. China firmly opposes it. In the face of such acts, silence or compromise only emboldens the bully. China will firmly stand with India to uphold the multilateral trading system with the world trade organisation,' Xu said. Feihong also said that tariff and trade 'wars' were disrupting the global economic and trade system. #WATCH | China's ambassador to India, Xu Feihong says, '…US has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India and even threatened for more. China firmly opposes it. Silence only emboldens the bully. China will firmly stand with India .' — ANI (@ANI) August 21, 2025 Pointing to Beijing's support for New Delhi, the envoy added that 'China will firmly stand with India', describing the two nations as 'double engines of economic growth in Asia.' 'China and India's friendship benefits Asia. We are the double engines of economic growth in Asia. India and China unity benefits the world at large,' Xu said. Calling for deeper collaboration, Xu said India and China had a 'responsibility to take the lead in promoting an equal and orderly multipolar world.' On trade, he offered assurances that 'all Indian commodities are welcome to enter the Chinese market' and urged the two countries to 'enhance strategic mutual trust' and 'avoid mutual suspicion.' Xu's remarks came days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in New Delhi. Modi is also expected to travel to China later this year for the SCO leaders' summit. 'Together, we can open a new chapter of a dragon-elephant tango,' Xu Feihong said speaking about the upcoming Summit.
