Recently, the 5th China-Arab States Reform and Development Forum convened in Shanghai in the Chinese mainland, drawing over 100 representatives from business, policy and innovation sectors across the Chinese mainland, 19 Arab countries and the Arab League.
Under the umbrella of the Global Development Initiative (GDI), delegates explored how joint efforts can spur innovation-driven industrial growth, reinforce multilateralism and deliver high-quality economic development.
In his keynote, Zhai Jun, the Chinese government's special envoy on Middle East affairs, emphasized China's commitment to deepen openness and foster win-win cooperation with Arab partners, setting the stage for lasting industry and technology alliances.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and changemakers, this forum signals fresh opportunities to engage in cross-regional projects, tapping into vibrant markets and building sustainable value chains.
As China and Arab states align on innovation and shared prosperity, the forum underscores a collective push toward a more inclusive, innovation-led future across continents.
