China has pledged closer coordination with Pakistan to help de-escalate the Iran conflict, as Islamabad steps up its role as a potential mediator between Washington and Tehran. According to official statements reported by state media, both sides agreed to promote dialogue and support efforts to end the war.
Pakistan’s foreign minister Ishaq Dar met Chinese officials in Beijing, with talks focusing on regional stability and broader strategic ties.
The report said the two countries issued a five-point proposal calling for a ceasefire, protection of civilian infrastructure, and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
As the US–Israeli war on Iran enters its second month and Tehran rejects Washington’s ceasefire plan, Pakistan is stepping up as a key mediator.

Pakistan has positioned itself as a bridge in the conflict, offering to host negotiations between the United States and Iran. However, analysts noted China’s support would remain largely diplomatic rather than military.
Experts also cautioned that expectations for immediate peace remain limited, given ongoing tensions and competing interests in the region.
