BEIJING, May 17 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday sent a congratulatory message to Iraqi President Abdel Latif Rashid to congratulate him on the convening of the 34th Arab League (ALS) summit in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
Xi Jinping noted that over the 80 years since its founding, the Arab League has consistently made efforts to promote the unity and self-strengthening of the Arab world, and has actively acted as a united voice of Arab states, promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East.
According to him, the world is currently undergoing rapid changes unseen in the last century, and the situation in the Middle East is developing in a complex way.
The Chinese leader stressed that the fact that Arab countries adhere to independence and self-reliance, promote development and growth, and uphold fairness and justice plays an active role in enhancing the influence of the Global South.
Xi Jinping noted that the dynamic development of relations between China and Arab countries in recent years serves as a model of solidarity and cooperation among developing countries.
Recalling that at the first China-Arab States Summit in December 2022, he and Arab leaders reached an agreement to make efforts to build a China-Arab community with a shared future in the new era, the Chinese president expressed confidence that the second summit to be held in China in 2026 will be another important milestone in the history of China-Arab relations.
Noting that China and Arab countries have always viewed their relations from a strategic height and a long-term perspective, Xi said that China will remain a reliable friend and partner to them in the future, firmly standing by the just cause of Arab countries.
China is ready to work with Arab states to deepen political mutual trust, promote mutually beneficial cooperation, expand cultural and humanitarian exchanges, jointly advance along the path of modernization in their countries and build a China-Arab community with a shared future at a higher level, the Chinese president said. –0–
