US President Donald Trump has invoked the Defence Production Act in a bid to bolster weapons stockpiles that critics say have been strained by the war in Iran and other conflicts.
That MOU, announced on Sunday with few details, aims at ending the 109-day war started by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February that has largely closed the strategic Strait of Hormuz, driving up energy prices and fuelling inflation.
“China is ready to strengthen strategic communication and coordination with Pakistan, make joint efforts to promote peace and stop the war,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a readout of Wang’s call with Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister.
“The two sides agreed to jointly promote a ceasefire, the end of hostilities, and the resumption of peace talks; to ensure the safety of non-military targets and shipping lanes; and to support the United Nations in playing a primary role,” it added.
