Noting that the current international landscape is increasingly characterized by changes and instability, along with rising unilateral bullying, he stressed that the sovereignty and security of all countries should be fully protected under international law.
Dar said Pakistan reaffirms its commitment to the one-China principle and will continue to firmly support China on all issues related to its core interests.
