DOHA, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said Monday that China is willing to deepen cooperation with Qatar in various fields and raise the bilateral strategic partnership to a higher level.
Han Zheng, who is visiting the Qatari capital to attend the Second World Summit for Social Development, made the statement during a meeting with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
During the meeting, the Chinese Vice President noted that Qatar enjoys unique and significant influence in the Middle East and is an important strategic partner for China. He emphasized that China consistently places great importance on its relations with Qatar.
Han Zheng recalled that Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Emir of Qatar reached important agreements on deepening bilateral ties during their meeting in the SCO Plus format last July.
Noting that the recent Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China reviewed and approved the recommendations for formulating the country's 15th Five-Year Plan for Social and Economic Development (2026-2030), he said that China is committed to benefiting the world through its development, which will create valuable opportunities for friendly cooperation with Qatar.
"Profound political mutual trust is the foundation of China-Qatar relations," the vice president said, adding that China is willing to work with Qatar to implement the important agreements reached by the two heads of state, maintain high-level exchanges, continue to support each other on issues affecting their core interests, and deepen cooperation in energy, artificial intelligence and the digital economy to elevate the bilateral strategic partnership to a new level.
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, emphasizing China's status as Qatar's largest trading partner, said in turn that these relations are of vital importance to Qatar.
He added that Qatar values its friendship with China, is grateful for China's support in protecting its territorial sovereignty and national security, and will firmly adhere to the one-China principle.
The Emir stated that his country is ready to expand bilateral cooperation in various fields, strengthen the energy partnership with China and take bilateral relations to a new level. –0–
