E<\/span><\/span>stablished<\/span><\/span> 20<\/span><\/span> years ago, China-Arab States Cooperation Forum <\/span><\/span>has opened<\/span><\/span> a new chapter<\/span><\/span> of<\/span><\/span>strengthen<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span> dialogue<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> and cooperation <\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/span>promote peace<\/span><\/span> and<\/span><\/span> development<\/span><\/span> for China and <\/span><\/span><\/a>Arab <\/span><\/span>countries<\/span><\/span>. Over the past 20 years, <\/span><\/span>remarkable progresses have been made in cooperation under the framework of the Forum, with <\/span><\/span>19 mechanisms <\/span><\/span>formed including<\/span><\/span> ministerial meetings, senior official meetings<\/span><\/span> and<\/span><\/span> senior official strategic political dialogues<\/span><\/span>, etc.<\/span><\/span>, rang<\/span><\/span>ing widely from<\/span><\/span>politics, economy and trade, energy<\/span><\/span> to<\/span><\/span> culture, science and technology, health, <\/span><\/span>media<\/span><\/span>, and people-to-people exchanges. 85 outcome documents <\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span> various <\/span><\/span>fields have been published to <\/span><\/span>guide and <\/span><\/span>frame the joint commitment to continuously <\/span><\/span><\/a>enriching the strategic <\/span><\/span>core of our relationship and deepening as well as materializing our cooperation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022, leaders of China and Arab countries<\/span><\/span> came to the agreement on<\/span><\/span> committing to <\/span><\/span>build<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span> a China-Arab community with a shared future <\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span> the new era<\/span><\/span>, which marked the implementing and thriving of the <\/span><\/span>concept of a community with a shared future for mankind <\/span><\/span>in Ar<\/span><\/span>ab world. <\/span><\/span>Since then, China and Arab countries have been continuously deepening mutual political trust, vitalizing pragmatic cooperation and diversifying cultural exchanges, with <\/span><\/span><\/a>rich outcomes yielded<\/span><\/span> in various fields.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

China and A<\/span><\/span>rab countries<\/span><\/span> support <\/span><\/span>each other<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>s <\/span><\/span>independence. <\/span><\/span>We<\/span><\/span> firmly support each other in safeguarding core interests<\/span><\/span>. Our two sides b<\/span><\/span>oth stand for respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, <\/span><\/span>as well as<\/span><\/span>peaceful coexistence<\/span><\/span>, both <\/span><\/span>oppose external interference and all forms of hegemonism<\/span><\/span> and b<\/span><\/span>oth advocate respecting and supporting <\/span><\/span>the right<\/span><\/span> to independently choose development paths based on national conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

China and Arab <\/span><\/span>countries<\/span><\/span> jointly <\/span><\/span>hold high<\/span><\/span>multilateralism. <\/span><\/span>Our both sides<\/span><\/span> always <\/span><\/span>firmly uphold the international system with the UN at its core, the international order underpinned by internati<\/span><\/span>onal law and the basic norms of international relations underpinned by the UN Charter<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> We <\/span><\/span>jointly <\/span><\/span>champion<\/span><\/span> multilateralism, promote multilateral cooperation<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> and oppose unilateralism and power politics<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> advocate the democratization of <\/span><\/span>international relations<\/span><\/span> and support developing countries<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span> greater representation and voice in global governance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

China and A<\/span><\/span>rab countries<\/span><\/span> <\/a>jointly<\/span><\/span> promote peace and security. <\/span><\/span><\/a>China actively advocates the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, adheres to <\/span><\/span>the principles of <\/span><\/span>non-interference, political settlement, objectivity and justice, <\/span><\/span>as well as <\/span><\/span><\/a>solution to both consequences and causes<\/span><\/span>. Therefore, China has found the Chinese way to address hotspot issues and practiced it successfully <\/span><\/span>together with Arab countries. China has <\/span><\/span>mediated and contributed to<\/span><\/span> the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, <\/span><\/span>ushering in<\/span><\/span> a <\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>tide of reconciliation<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span> in the Middle East. <\/span><\/span>At the invitation of China, <\/span><\/span><\/a>r<\/span><\/span>epresentatives of Fatah<\/span><\/span> and Hamas <\/span><\/span>held <\/span><\/span>in-depth and candid <\/span><\/span>talks<\/span><\/span> in Beijing<\/span><\/span> for<\/span><\/span>Palestinian reconciliation and achieved <\/span><\/span>encouraging <\/span><\/span>progress. China firmly supports the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights and has always been <\/span><\/span>advocating for<\/span><\/span> a comprehensive, fair and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

China and A<\/span><\/span>rab countries<\/span><\/span> jointly practice mutual learning among civilizations. As ancient civilizations, China and Arab countries both <\/span><\/span><\/a>champion equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness between civilizations<\/span><\/span>, and <\/span><\/span>thus have<\/span><\/span><\/a> set a model<\/span><\/span> of<\/span><\/span> mutual learning between civilizations. In 2023, President Xi Jinping <\/span><\/span>put forward<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>G<\/span><\/span>lobal <\/span><\/span>C<\/span><\/span>ivilization <\/span><\/span>I<\/span><\/span>nitiative<\/span><\/span>, which was <\/span><\/span><\/a>echoed <\/span><\/span>by<\/span><\/span> Arab countries<\/span><\/span> with enthusiasm.<\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he Arab League became the first regional organization to jointly issue a document with China to implement the initiative. Among the 19 cooperation mechanisms under the framework of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, 11<\/span><\/span> are related to<\/span><\/span> cultural<\/span><\/span> exchanges. 50 Chinese and Arab classics<\/span><\/span> have been published under the <\/span><\/span>“Chinese-Arabic Classics Translation” project. Young people from Somalia, Egypt<\/span><\/span>, together with youth of other countries, <\/span><\/span>participated in the “Tiangong Dialogue”<\/span><\/span>, providing testimony to the global commitment of China’s aerospace development in Arab world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Somalia is an important member of the Arab countries and China-Arab cooperation. The cooperation and exchanges between China and Somalia under the China-Arab cooperation framework have become an integral part of <\/span><\/span>our bilateral<\/span><\/span> relations <\/span><\/span>which has substantially contributed to <\/span><\/span>the consolidation<\/span><\/span> and expansion<\/span><\/span> of <\/span><\/span>our<\/span><\/span> traditional friendship. China is <\/span><\/span>ready<\/span><\/span> to work with Somalia and other Arab countries <\/span><\/span>to embrace the <\/span><\/span>new prospects <\/span><\/span>and dynamism of <\/span><\/span>China-Arab relations, <\/span><\/span>so as to <\/span><\/span>build <\/span><\/span>with every effort <\/span><\/span>a China-Arab community with a shared future <\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span> the new era <\/span><\/span>as a part of the efforts in<\/span><\/span> building mankind<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> community with a shared future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
