China-Arab States Summit

In December 2022, the first China-Arab States Summit was held in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia. Chinese President Xi Jinping and more than 20 leaders of League of Arab States member countries and heads of international organizations attended. Xi delivered a keynote speech reviewing the long history of friendly exchange between China and Arab countries and elaborating on the China-Arab friendship that has strengthened over thousands of years. He said that solidarity and mutual assistance are distinct features of the China-Arab friendship, equality and mutual benefits are constant drivers of their friendship, and that inclusiveness and mutual learning are key values inherent to the friendship. Xi proposed eight pragmatic cooperation initiatives in the areas of development support, food security, public health, green innovation, energy security, inter-civilizational dialogue, youth development, and security and stability to chart a path forward for building a closer China-Arab community of shared future.

The Summit issued three outcome documents: the Riyadh Declaration of the First China-Arab States Summit, the Outline of the Comprehensive Cooperation Plan Between the People's Republic of China and Arab States, and a document on Deepen- ing the Sino-Arab Strategic Partnership for Peace and Development. They clearly stated that making an all-out effort to build a China-Arab community of shared future for the new era is the common wish and goal for China and the Arab countries alike.

China and Arab countries account for about a quarter of the total population of the world, and they are important representatives of developing countries and important forces representing major civilizations on the international stage. The first summit between China and Arab countries exerted great international significance and far-reaching historical impact beyond the bilateral and regional scope, fully demonstrating that countries of different regions, cultures, and social systems can learn from each other and develop and prosper together.
