ISLAMABAD: China, Pakistan, and Iran held their first-ever counter-terrorism dialogue in Beijing, indicating a shift in regional alignments. The high-level meeting, attended by officials from each country, focused on the regional security landscape, with a specific emphasis on the terrorism threat facing the region. Following productive discussions, the three delegations agreed to establish the Trilateral Consultations on counter-terrorism and security as a formal institution, although further details are yet to be finalized. This meeting carries significant implications for the region, positioning China as a leading player in shaping regional dynamics.
China’s growing diplomatic achievements, including brokering a historic agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, reinforce its influential role. Experts suggest that China, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, among others, share natural alignment due to converging interests, amid a world increasingly marked by polarization. As this emerging alliance takes shape, substantial changes are expected in the geopolitical landscape of the region.
The meeting also provided an opportunity for Director General Abdul Hameed and Director General Syed Rasoul Mosavi to strengthen diplomatic ties by meeting with China’s Assistant Foreign Minister, Nong Rong. This trilateral engagement underscores the importance of cooperation and collaboration among the three nations in addressing security challenges and combating terrorism in the region.
