During his trip, Wang is set to participate in a trilateral foreign ministers’ meeting with officials from Afghanistan and Pakistan, focusing on regional cooperation and diplomatic engagement.
Wang, a member of the political bureau of the Chinese ruling party and foreign minister, and Ishaq Dar, deputy prime minister and foreign minister of Pakistan, will lead their respective delegations at the trilateral meeting.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, met on Thursday in Balkh province with the head of Uzbekistan’s Railway Administration.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Uzbek officials said during the meeting that they plan to build a new 1.5-kilometer railway line at Nayebabad Station along the Hairatan–Mazar-e-Sharif railway route. They also intend to construct several warehouses along the line for loading and unloading goods.
Baradar welcomed the initiative and instructed officials of the Ministry of Public Works to jointly carry out the technical and construction work with the Uzbek side.
The construction of the new railway line and warehouses is expected to increase the capacity of Hairatan Port and provide greater facilities for traders.
