The Arab States and China, historically connected by the ancient Silk Road, find an excellent opportunity in the Belt and Road Initiative to enhance cultural engagements, bolster trade and innovation and ensure all-inclusive peace and development. According to Xi’s vision, BRI will help translate these aims by creating a stronger China-Arab community with a shared future. The multilateral rendezvous via BRI is acclaimed as a game changer, as the whole Gulf region will benefit from it.
The China-Gulf partnership has increased since BRI’s 2013 launch. China’s Belt and Road Initiative’s partnership priorities—unrestricted trade, financial integration, facility connectivity, people-to-people linkages, and policy coordination—fit the PRC-Gulf States relationship. BRI aims to improve infrastructure, logistics, energy supply, hydrogen supply chains and renewable energy capacity while boosting investment and commerce. China’s “Economic Diplomacy” aims to grow trade and economic ties without political interference. |
