Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday called on China and Arab states to deepen cooperation and step up the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future.
Xi made the remarks in a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 10th ministerial conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum (CASCF).
CHINA-ARAB RELATIONS SCALING NEW HEIGHTS
China-Arab relations have kept scaling new heights since the beginning of the new century. At the first China-Arab States Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in December 2022, China and Arab states agreed to build a China-Arab community with a shared future in the new era.
Xi said that China is satisfied with the progress that has been made in delivering on the first China-Arab States Summit’s outcomes. China will work with the Arab side to enhance the role of the summit in providing strategic guidance for continued “leapfrog growth” of China-Arab relations.
Xi announced that China will host the second China-Arab States Summit in 2026, which is set to be another milestone in China-Arab relations.
