China is set to enhance its collaboration with Arab nations through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aiming to foster unity and self-reliance among developing countries. During the 10th ministerial meeting of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, scheduled for May 30 in Beijing, key discussions will focus on expanding cooperation across various sectors and accelerating the creation of a China-Arab community with a shared future.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Deng Li emphasized that the upcoming summit will strengthen consensus between China and Arab states, outline the next phase of their partnership, and address the Palestinian issue by adopting several outcome documents. The event underscores China's commitment to building collective cooperation models that can be replicated among other developing nations.
President Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony alongside prominent Arab leaders, including Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, Tunisia's President Kais Saied, and UAE's President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. These leaders will engage in state visits and deliver keynote speeches, highlighting the importance of the partnership and its impact on regional and global scales.
As the Belt and Road Initiative continues to shape international business, infrastructure, and cultural exchanges, this summit represents a pivotal moment in strengthening China's ties with the Arab world, promoting mutual support, and driving sustainable development across regions.
