Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Monday in Beijing.

Asif is in China to attend the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) from Monday to Tuesday.

The two-day meeting will discuss issues related to peace and security at the international and regional level and promotion of cooperation between SCO member states.

Pakistan has been playing an active role in SCO since becoming a full member in June last year.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi met earlier this month at Boao Forum for Asia in Boao in south China's Hainan Province.

The SCO was founded at a summit in Shanghai in 2001 by the presidents of Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

The organization currently comprises eight member states: China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, India, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

The SCO has four members with observer states, including Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran and Mongolia.

Wang will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday afternoon, and sign joint agreements for cooperation between the two countries.
