China and Pakistan have agreed to promote a five-point proposal aimed at restoring peace in the Middle East after a month-long war.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi received his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar, and both agreed on five points to follow: an immediate cessation of hostilities, the start of peace talks as soon as possible, ensuring the security of non-military targets, guaranteeing safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and upholding the primacy of the United Nations Charter.

Chinese state media and Pakistan's Foreign Ministry announced the agreement.

Both countries called on all parties to adhere to the proposal, but did not specify other specific steps.

Dar traveled to Beijing at a time when Pakistan is acting as a mediator between Iran and the US. The South Asian country is using its relatively good relations with both Washington and Tehran to try to help end the war.
