Islamabad; The ninth ministerial meeting of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum will be co-chaired by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi. Foreign ministers of the League of Arab States (LAS) members and LAS Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit will attend the meeting.
As agreed by both sides, the ninth ministerial meeting of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum will be held via video conference on July 6.
Spokesperson of MFA Mr. Zhao Lijian has said on 02 July 2020 that China attaches high importance to advancing China-Arab strategic partnership. The two sides are good partners of mutual benefit and good brothers sharing weal and woe. Confronted with the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been fighting side by side with solidarity and mutual assistance. Our relations have been deepened and elevated in this process.
As the pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the globe, convening this meeting will send out a message of China and Arab states consolidating consensus on solidarity and cooperation, upholding multilateralism, supporting each other on issues bearing on core interests and major concerns, and joining hands to build a China-Arab community with a shared future in the new era. China stands ready to work together with other participants to make this ministerial a complete success.
