CAIRO, July 9 (Xinhua) — China supports Arab countries in strengthening their strategic independence, enhancing unity and self-sufficiency, and choosing development paths that suit their national conditions, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said in the Egyptian capital on Wednesday.
At a meeting with Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Abu Al-Gheit, Li Qiang stressed that China always views and develops relations with Arab states from a strategic height and firmly supports their just causes.
Noting that China and Arab countries are reliable friends and good partners, Li Qiang said that under the strategic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Arab leaders, China-Arab relations have entered the best period in their history.
According to the Premier of the State Council, China is willing to strengthen friendly ties with the Arab League, enhance strategic mutual trust with Arab countries, deepen cooperation in various fields, jointly promote modernization, and build a higher-level China-Arab community with a shared future.
Li Qiang said that China hopes to further align its development strategies with Arab countries and continue high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road.
He called on both sides to expand cooperation in areas such as energy, economy and trade, investment and financing, aviation and space, and to unleash the potential for cooperation in emerging areas such as new energy, artificial intelligence, digital economy and blue economy.
The Chinese side is willing to work with Arab countries to coordinately advance significant flagship projects and "small but beautiful" public welfare projects to bring more benefits to the peoples of both sides, the Chinese leader added.
The two sides, Li Qiang continued, should strengthen dialogue among civilizations and cultural and humanitarian exchanges, deepen cooperation between youth, think tanks, universities, as well as in the field of culture and tourism, and explore the possibility of implementing additional measures to facilitate exchanges between people, thereby strengthening ties between peoples.
As the Premier emphasized, China hopes to strengthen coordination and communication with Arab countries in such venues as the UN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the World Trade Organization and the Group of 20 (G20), demonstrating a common will, speaking with one voice, and promoting the building of a fairer and more reasonable global governance system.
Li Qiang expressed hope that the Arab League will continue to play an important role in promoting the development of China-Arab relations and work with the Chinese side to ensure the successful holding of the 2nd China-Arab States Summit next year.
A. A. Al-Gheit, for his part, noted that China is a good friend and partner of Arab countries, adding that Arab-Chinese relations are demonstrating positive development dynamics, and practical cooperation is bringing significant results.
The Arab League Secretary General pointed out that the Arab side firmly supports the one-China principle, as well as the Belt and Road Initiative and the three major global initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping.
Congratulating China on its remarkable achievements in development, Al-Gheit said the Arab side is grateful to China for supporting the socio-economic development of Arab states and hopes to work with China to deepen political mutual trust, firmly support each other, and deepen exchanges and cooperation in such areas as trade, investment, and cultural and humanitarian contacts within the framework of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum.
According to the Secretary General of the Arab League, the Arab side is ready to continue to implement the results of the first China-Arab States summit together with China and successfully hold the second such summit next year.
A.A. Al-Gheit stressed that the Arab side highly appreciates China's consistent support for Arab states at multilateral platforms such as the UN, and hopes to strengthen multilateral cooperation with China to jointly safeguard multilateralism and promote world peace and development. –0–
