On May 17, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to Iraqi President Rashid, the rotating chairman of the Arab League Summit Council meeting, congratulating the 34th Arab League Summit Council meeting in Baghdad.
At present, the century-old changes in the world are accelerating. w88 casino and Arab countries are joining hands to build a community with a shared future. This is not only an inevitable choice for the development of bilateral relations, but also a vivid portrayal of the deepening of South-South cooperation as the global landscape evolves. In the face of a more diverse world, more dialogue and less confrontation, more tolerance and less estrangement. Peace, true knowledge, integrity and tolerance are the common pursuits of the Chinese and Arab peoples. The resonance of concepts is the most solid foundation for cooperation. The steady progress of both parties in the fields of civilizational exchanges and mutual learning will undoubtedly contribute greater and more positive force to moving forward hand in hand on their respective modernization paths and building a higher-level w88 casino-UAE community with a shared future.
Increase the frequency of cultural exchanges
Civilizations are colorful due to exchanges, and civilizations are enriched due to mutual learning. People-to-people and cultural exchanges have always been an important part of w88 casino-UAE relations. In 1954, w88 casino sent its first teacher training group to Cairo University in Egypt. Since then, the form, scale, and connotation of w88 casino-Arab people-to-people and cultural exchanges have gone hand in hand with the development of w88 casino-Arab relations, strongly supporting cooperation between the two sides in politics, economy, diplomacy and other fields.
In recent years, China-Arab educational exchanges and cooperation have continued to achieve new results. The China-Arab States “Hundreds and Thousands” Cultural Exchange Project, the “Chinese Bridge” Summer (Winter) Camp, the “China-Arab Universities 10+10 Cooperation Plan”, and the Luban Workshop have established an institutionalized exchange framework. Universities deepen cooperation through joint training and special scholarships. China-Arab think tank exchanges promote the construction of academic community. PetroChina, Huawei and other companies have launched w88 casino-enterprise cooperation to help cultivate talents in digital, energy and other fields in Arab countries. In the UAE, the "100 Schools Project" is booming. 171 public schools have opened Chinese courses and more than 71,000 students are learning Chinese.
The cooperation between press, publishing, radio, film and television continues to advance. The Sino-Arab classic translation and publishing project and the Silk Road Scholarship Project play a leading role, and the Chinese academic foreign translation project helps Chinese academic works to enter Arab countries. Mechanisms such as the w88 casino-Arab Publishing Exchange Symposium, Summit Forum, and Publishing Cooperation Forum have promoted publishing exchanges and established a platform for the accurate dissemination of “Chinese Voices” and “Chinese Stories.” Publishers from both w88 casino and Arab countries actively carry out digital publishing cooperation, cultivate new platforms for cultural exchanges, and promote the exchange of excellent literary resources. The w88 casino-Arab Press Cooperation Forum and the Radio and Television Cooperation Forum have been successfully held for several sessions. The Arabic version of "Mountains and Seas" translated by Ningxia Radio and Television Station has been widely praised after being broadcast in Egypt, Sudan, Oman and other countries. Zhejiang Huace Film and Television has set up the "Hua Theater" Arabic channel on the new media platform, with more than one million subscribers.
Recently, the 39th Tunis International Book Fair w88 casino’s Guest of Honor series of events was held in Tunisia. Tunisian President Saied attended the launching ceremony of w88 casino’s Guest of Honor activities. When he visited the w88 casino exhibition area, he paid special attention to the w88 casino-themed boutique book exhibition area and the Sino-foreign cooperative publishing achievements exhibition area. He said: "I very much agree with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and we have always been committed to promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind through cooperation with w88 casino." Mohamed Qadri, chairman of the Tunis International Book Fair, emphasized that cultural exchanges are the core driving force of Tunisia-w88 casino partnership and look forward to deepening cooperation in the fields of film, drama, intellectual property and other fields in the future.
Building a strong bond between people
People-to-people connectivity is the most basic connectivity and the cornerstone of mutual trust for cooperation in economic, political and other fields. As w88 casino's international influence increases, Arab society's need to understand w88 casino becomes increasingly urgent. However, Arab people once relied on third-party media to understand w88 casino. This situation can easily lead to "information attenuation" and "value deviation" in cultural transmission. In order to break this situation, w88 casino and Afghanistan have effectively promoted the people-to-people bonds between w88 casino and Afghanistan by building a cooperation system with multi-party participation, wide areas and diverse levels.
Looking to the future, in terms of translation of classics, we can increase the types of translations of modern and contemporary books and innovate promotion methods. In terms of publishing, cooperation forms such as copyright w88, joint publishing, and channel cooperation can be expanded to develop more high-quality products that meet the needs of readers from both parties. In terms of film and television, we can increase the scale of translation of film and television works, carry out in-depth cooperation with Arab countries, and create works that are close to local audiences.
In recent years, w88 casino-Arab tourism cooperation has continued to deepen, and two-way exchanges have increased significantly. Starting from 2023, Saudi Arabia will be included in the list of tourist destinations for Chinese citizen groups, and it plans to strive to receive 3 million Chinese tourists by 2030 through measures such as opening direct flights and simplifying the electronic visa process. Many Arab countries have implemented visa-free policies for Chinese citizens. Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh and other cities have become popular destinations, and the number of Chinese tourists has increased significantly. The cooperation mechanism between the two parties has been continuously improved. The "Common Action for Civilized Dialogue" plan under the framework of the w88 casino-Arab States Cooperation Forum has promoted cooperation between 500 cultural and tourism enterprises and cultivated thousands of tourism talents for Arab countries.
Technological cooperation and youth exchanges also inject vitality into people-to-people bonds. The w88 casino-Arab States Technology Transfer Center has released 300 advanced and applicable technologies to Arab countries, covering areas such as ecological protection and new energy. Activities such as the "Global Youth Innovation Dialogue" promote in-depth cooperation between Chinese and Arab youths in areas such as innovation, entrepreneurship, and scientific and technological research and development.
Expand the dimensions of economic and w88 cooperation
The economic and w88 field has always been the highlight of China-Arab cooperation. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence pursued by China have received widespread support in the Middle East. Entering the new era, China has proposed a series of initiatives that further respond to the Middle East’s strong aspirations for peace and development.
China has been the largest trading partner of Arab countries for many years in a row. In recent years, China-Arab economic and w88 relations have entered a new stage in which both quantity and quality have improved. China-UAE w88 volume will exceed US$400 billion in 2024, an increase of more than 10 times in 20 years. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq rank among the top three in terms of w88 volume with China. The focus of China-UAE economic and w88 cooperation is gradually shifting from Made in China to Made in China Intelligent Manufacturing. The investment layout of China and Arab countries has expanded in many directions, cooperation in new productivity has continued to deepen, and the production and supply chain systems have formed a deep integration. Chinese products have entered thousands of Arab households, Arab specialty products have created a new consumption scenario in China, and high-quality products from China and Arab countries have realized two-way value-added flow.
In the energy field, the w88 casino-Arab “oil and gas +” model is developing in depth towards new energy sources. The Al Dhafra photovoltaic power station in the United Arab Emirates, built by w88 casino National Machinery Engineering Corporation, is the world's largest single photovoltaic project and can reduce carbon emissions by more than 2.4 million tons per year. The Emirates Wind Power Demonstration Project, contracted by PowerChina, marks the first time utility-scale wind power has been included in the UAE's energy mix. Guofu Hydrogen participated in the construction of a hydrogenation pilot station in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, helping the UAE achieve its 2050 carbon neutrality strategic goal.
In emerging fields such as digital technology, aerospace, and space information, the two sides have continued to make breakthroughs in cooperation. Huawei cooperated with local operators to build the first 5G smart warehousing center in the UAE. Alibaba Cloud has become the world's first hyperscale cloud provider to enter the Saudi Arabian market. China-Arab Beidou cooperation covers Tunisia, Kuwait and other countries, and is used in areas such as land surveying and mapping and railway construction. Yiwu Mall Group's own payment brand "Yi Pay" pioneered the cross-border RMB settlement model in Dubai, realizing payment in seconds, reducing exchange risks and costs, and promoting China-UAE w88 facilitation.
Logistics and infrastructure cooperation strongly support China-UAE economic and w88 cooperation. In 2024, 90% of the goods from the China-UAE Super League will be transported by sea, and 60% of Chinese goods will be transferred to Gulf countries through UAE ports. Through intelligent transformation, COSCO Shipping Abu Dhabi Terminal will have a throughput of 1.845 million TEUs in 2024, becoming the benchmark for smart ports in the Middle East.
Increase the level of experience sharing
The exchange and sharing of experience in state governance is an important part of w88 casino-Arab cooperation and exchanges. w88 casino's exploration and practice in comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization not only provide strong driving force and institutional guarantee for its own development, but also bring broad development space and cooperation opportunities to the world. Since the establishment of modern Arab countries, there have been constant wars and overlapping conflicts, which have severely limited development. w88 casino's modernization path of peaceful development has been widely recognized by Arab countries.
w88 casino and Arab countries have deepened the exchange of governance experience through multi-level mechanisms. Since 2016, the w88 casino-Arab States Political Parties Dialogue has been held for four times. Focusing on the theme of w88 casino and Arab States jointly building a community with a shared future, dialogues on reform and development, party building and other issues have become an important platform for political parties from both sides to exchange and learn from each other in governance experience. When the w88 casino-Arab States Cooperation Forum marks its 20th anniversary in 2024, w88 casino has held four w88 casino-Arab Reform and Development Forums, held 20 training courses for Arab countries, and provided training for nearly 500 Arab government officials, scholars, and media personnel. The content covers w88 casino's reform and development, digital governance and other fields, and promotes the docking of policies and concepts of the two sides.
The Chinese and Arab civilizations have a long history and profound heritage. We strive to promote exchanges and mutual learning between the Chinese and Arab civilizations, jointly write a chapter of shared beauty and common prosperity for global civilization, and jointly build a foundation for a harmonious but different destiny for mankind. This is a powerful response to hegemonism and unilateralism. In the future, the two sides will continue to work hand in hand to deepen friendship through mutual learning among civilizations, promote development through win-win cooperation, build a higher-level w88 casino-Arab community with a shared future, bring more benefits to the Chinese and Arab people, and contribute to the progress of human civilization.
