"China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Saturday condemned the United States for its strikes on Venezuela and 'capture' of President Nicolas Maduro, saying no country can 'act as the world’s police' “We never believe that any country can act as the world’s police, nor do we accept that any country can claim to be an international judge,” Wang said. “The sovereignty and security of all countries should be fully protected by international law. China has always opposed the use or threat of force in international relations and opposes imposing one country’s will on another,” he added. Maduro was detained alongside Venezuela’s First Lady Cilia Flores in the early hours of Saturday, after attacks were reported in Caracas as well as in the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira. According to US authorities, the pair are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn on 'narcoterrorism' charges. In response, Caracas declared a national emergency, accusing Washington of attempting to “seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals.” Wang’s remarks were made during a meeting with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held as part of the Seventh Round of the China–Pakistan Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue. Footage from the meeting shows the two diplomats unveiling an official logo to mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. “Over the past 75 years, both sides have remained true to their original aspirations, forging an ironclad friendship through the changes and tests of the international landscape,” Wang said. “Mutual trust and mutual support have always been the enduring foundation of the relationship between our two countries.” Dar echoed the sentiment, stressing the alignment of the two countries’ strategic and political interests. “China can always rely on Pakistan as its time-tested and reliable brother. We will continue to stand by China on its core interests,” he said. The unveiling ceremony marked the start of a year-long programme of events commemorating the 75th anniversary of Pakistan–China diplomatic ties. Dar arrived in Beijing on Saturday, becoming the first foreign minister to be received by China in 2026. His visit is scheduled to run until Monday."
