Jointly Building a China-Arab Community with a Shared Future

In June 2014, in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Sixth Ministerial Conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that China and Arab nations should work together to promote the building of the Belt and Road, and pointed out that over the years, China-Arab cooperation has continued taking solid steps forward, and the two sides have made fruitful achievements through pragmatic cooperation in various areas.

2014年6月，國家主席習近平在中阿合作論壇第六屆部長級會議開幕式上提出中阿共建“一帶一路”，多年來，中阿合作不斷走深走實，雙方各領域務實合作成果豐碩。中國和阿拉伯國家將繼續心手相連，攜手構建面向新時代的中阿命運共同體，為促進世界持久和平與共同發展不斷作出新的貢獻。

China and Arab states enjoy a long history of friendly exchanges. We have come to know and befriend each other through the ancient Silk Road. We have shared weal and woe in our respective struggles for national liberation. We have conducted win-win cooperation in the tide of economic globalization. And we have upheld fairness and justice in the changing international environment. Together, China and Arab states have nurtured the spirit of friendship featuring "solidarity and mutual assistance, equality and mutual benefit, and inclusiveness and mutual learning."
