Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 17th. On May 17th, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to Iraqi President Rashid, the rotating chairman of the League of Arab States Summit, congratulating the 34th League of Arab States Summit meeting on the convening of the 34th League of Arab States Summit meeting in Baghdad.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in the 80 years since its establishment, the League of Arab States has always been committed to promoting the unity and self-reliance of the Arab world, actively emitting the common voice of Arab countries, and promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East. At present, the world's century-long changes are accelerating, and the situation in the Middle East is undergoing complex evolution. Arab countries adhere to independence, promote development and revitalization, and maintain fairness and justice, which has played a positive role in strengthening the global South.
Xi Jinping stressed that in recent years, China's relations with Arab countries have flourished and set an example of unity and cooperation among developing countries. In December 2022, I and the leaders of Arab countries attended the first China-Arab Summit and unanimously agreed to make every effort to build a community of shared future between China and Arab countries for the new era. In 2026, the second China-Arab Summit will be held in China, and I believe this will become another important milestone in the history of China-Arab relations. Both China and Arab countries insist on viewing each other's relationship from a strategic height and a long-term perspective. Looking ahead, China will always be a trustworthy friend and partner of the Arab countries and firmly stand on the side of the just cause of the Arab countries. China is willing to work with Arab countries to deepen political mutual trust, promote mutually beneficial cooperation, enhance cultural exchanges, work together on their respective modernization paths, and build a higher-level China-Arab community with a shared future.
