This will be the Chinese Foreign Minister's first visit to Pakistan after the latter's four-day conflict with India.
Wang Yi is expected to meet Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari.
Earlier this month, Pakistan's Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal visited China, where he finalised the agenda for the meeting.
China is Pakistan's closest strategic ally, which helps Islamabad economically. Earlier this year, China helped Pakistan with weapons and surveillance during the latter's conflict with India.
In May, the foreign ministers of the three nations decided to expand the corridor. The trio met in Beijing.
India opposes the CPEC as it passes through Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. New Delhi is also opposed to China’s Belt and Road initiative as the project includes the CPEC.
