Recently, the first China-Gulf Arab Countries Summit was held in Saudi Arabia capital Riyadh . At this meeting, we delivered a speech entitled "Continue the past and open up the future, work together to create a better future for China-Overseas Relations". It can be said that this speech pointed out the direction for the future development of China-Arab relations, laid the foundation, and drew a blueprint.

Let’s look back at this speech together. The speech begins with a talk about the history of friendly exchanges between us and the Gulf Arab countries for nearly two thousand years. Along the traces of the ancient Silk Road, the Chinese people and the Arab people have jointly uphold the wisdom of peace, harmony and true knowledge, and jointly wrote a brilliant chapter of win-win cooperation, unity and mutual assistance.

Why can China-United States relations develop in such a long-lasting manner? The reason why China Overseas relations have achieved leapfrog development is rooted in deep mutual trust, high complementarity, mutual understanding of the people, and sharing weal and woe. In short, it is telling Arab friends that at the crossroads of history, we must continue the traditional friendship between China Overseas, carry forward the past and work together.

speech and then talked about the fact that China highly appreciates the unity of the Gulf Arab countries. They have promoted GCC to become the most dynamic organization in the Middle East. Therefore, we also call for the China Overseas Strategic Partnership as an opportunity to continuously enrich more connotations for China Overseas relations.

As for how to enrich the connotation of China Overseas strategic partnership, four initiatives were given: First, China Overseas should be a partner for the Communist Party to promote unity. Firmly uphold non-interference, practice true multilateralism , respect each other's core interests, and safeguard the common interests of the vast majority of developing countries. Second, we must be partners in common development. China is willing to work with the Gulf Arab countries to promote the implementation of the global development initiative and promote common prosperity. Third, we must be partners who build safety together. We will continue to firmly support the resolution of issues through dialogue and consultation to maintain the security of the Gulf Arab countries themselves. Last but not least, China and the Gulf Arab countries should be partners in promoting civilization together. Enhance mutual understanding between the people, enrich exchanges in the cultural field, and make positive contributions to promoting the development of human civilization.

These four initiatives are not only our voice, but also the common expectation of the Gulf Arab countries, because the GCC countries, like China, shoulder the glorious mission of national rejuvenation. I believe that as long as these four initiatives are implemented, we can create a better era. At the end of the speech of

, we also expressed our willingness to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Gulf Arab countries in the fields of energy, finance, science and technology, aerospace, culture, etc. in the next 3 to 5 years. We will be heart-to-heart, move forward side by side, and work together to build a community of shared future for the new era, and jointly create a better future for China-Arab relations.

So who is nervous when facing the establishment of a community of shared future between China and Arabia in the new era? The West is nervous. Reports from Western media such as Reuters, Economist, and Bloomberg in the United States have combined the U.S.-Saudi relations with the China-Arab summit. Bloomberg said that the China-Arab summit is at a time when "OPEC+" cuts oil production, and the deadlock between Russia and Ukraine is difficult to break. The United States is tense with its traditional ally Saudi Arabia. Because of this, Gulf countries have tried to strengthen their ties with China, and China has also intervened in Middle East .

Economist on the 7th also published an article titled "The Gulf Turns its Looks to China". The article states that the tension in the Middle East has intensified, and Saudi Arabia is worried that its oil field will be attacked. "A strong and young crown prince turned to China after being rejected by the United States." Is this really true? Obviously, this is completely unreported, and it is the style of Western media that has always followed politicians to lead the rhythm. As long as you can search for information online, you can see that Gulf countries are seeking cooperation with us. This is not a "strategic hedging against the United States", because the cooperation between China and Gulf countries is complementary to each other's advantages and mutually beneficial and win-win results.

Gulf countries have strong economic strength, but they also see that the oil dividend will definitely not last long. Therefore, the UAE, , Qatar , Saudi Arabia and other countries have been undergoing economic transformation over the years. China has strong infrastructure construction capabilities, technology, and talents. If the Gulf countries want to undergo economic transformation, they will inevitably be inseparable from China. You can also find that Qatar is full of Chinese elements everywhere, and the most eye-catching one is the main stadium Lucerne Stadium built by China Railway Construction.

In addition, the ports and free trade zone built by Chinese companies in the Arab region also involve Kuwait , Oman , member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council are also loyal customers of Huawei . In the field of energy, China Overseas has deeper cooperation. Last year, four-fifths of our 51% of oil imported from the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council. In November this year, Sinopec also signed a 27-year liquefied natural gas supply agreement with Qatar.

So, the cooperation between the Gulf countries and us is a "win-win" and they also "really want to cooperate with China." Syria poet Adonis in the collection of poems "Catalogue of Works of Wind", "Wind is an eternal journey, it will not arrive, and its journey has no end.

The great opportunity brought by the China-Arab Summit, standing at a new historical starting point, the editor believes that China-Arab friendly relations have no end, and we will all have a better and more prosperous future. "Hold the elephant, the world goes; never harms, peace and peace", master the Tao, no troubles anywhere in the world, everything is a peaceful and healthy face.
