Pakistan, China and Afghanistan hold trilateral talks on regional security in Beijing

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is in Beijing for talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi. Both men will also meet Afghanistan's acting foreign minister to discuss regional peace and security, following last month's military standoff between Pakistan and India. Mr Dar earlier met Mr Liu Jianchao — head of the Chinese Communist Party's International Department — who reaffirmed China's strong support for Pakistan's sovereignty and integrity. Beijing is one of Islamabad's closest partners, offering financial lifelines and supplying arms. Hira Mustafa reports from Islamabad and Deborah Wong reports from Hong Kong.
