China, Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday agreed to expand the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan as top leaders from the three nations agreed to deepen trilateral cooperation. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) related announcement was made after Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi held an informal trilateral meeting in Beijing, a statement by the Foreign Office (FO) said in Islamabad.

Dar is on a three day visit to Beijing, the first high-level interaction after India launched Operation Sindoor targetting terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

"Pakistan, China, and Afghanistan stand together for regional peace, stability, and development," Dar said in a post on X after the meeting and shared a photo of the three leaders together.
