During the meeting, Munir briefed the Chinese side on Pakistan's mediation efforts related to tensions between Iran and the United States.

The Pakistani army chief reportedly said prospects for an agreement between Washington and Tehran were improving and that Islamabad was prepared to continue its diplomatic efforts.

Wang Yi also praised the Pakistani military's role in maintaining ties between Beijing and Islamabad and said China supports Pakistan's mediation initiatives.
