In view of the current deficits in peace, development, security and governance facing the international community, China proposes to hold a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council on "Practicing multilateralism, reforming and improving global governance", said Wang.

Such a meeting is to gather more international consensus and formulate a common plan, and China is ready to work with the international community, including Pakistan, to jointly promote the meeting to achieve positive results and accelerate the construction of a just and equitable global governance system.

As all-weather strategic cooperative partners, China and Pakistan have always trusted and supported each other, said the Chinese foreign minister, adding that a recent successful meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari added new impetus to China-Pakistan's ironclad friendship.
