Pakistan said on Wednesday it agreed to deepen trade and investments with China, days after the end of a conflict with India, that Beijing asked to be resolved through dialogue.
India and Pakistan agreed with a ceasefire on May 10, after four days of fighting, the worst in almost three decades.
The tensions increased among the neighbors with nuclear weapons after an attack in the Caxemira administered by India on April 22, which killed 26 people.
India blames Pakistan by the attack, but Islamabad denied any involvement.
Pakistan Foreign Minister ISHAQ DAR, met with Chinese Chancellor Wang Yi in Beijing on Tuesday (20).
