The China-Arab States Expo is an important platform for joint efforts by China and Arab states to advance the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Altogether 50 foreign guests including the Moroccan Prime Minister, Kazakhstan's First Deputy Prime Minister, Tunisian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, the UAE's Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and Assistant Secretary-General at the League of Arab States (LAS) addressed the 4-day event through recorded messages or video link. The expo saw 277 deals worth an approximate total of 156.67 billion yuan inked, ranging from electronic information, clean energy, new materials, green food, capacity cooperation, "Internet plus health care" and tourism cooperation. These attest to the vibrant China-Arab cooperation to pursue common development, safeguard peace and development, deliver mutual benefits, and promote the high-quality BRI development.
President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter as the event opened. It fully demonstrates that China attaches great importance to developing China-Arab strategic partnership, which injects confidence and impetus into our joint efforts to forge ahead and create a bright future together.
Since the establishment of a future-oriented strategic partnership of comprehensive cooperation and common development between China and Arab states over three years ago, the two sides have expanded cooperation to more areas and reaped more tangible outcomes. Trade between the two sides reached nearly $240 billion in 2020, which makes China Arab countries' largest trading partner. China has signed BRI cooperation documents with 19 Arab states as well as the LAS. Work and production at key China-Arab BRI projects is being resumed in an orderly manner. Cooperation in high tech areas like 5G, big data, AI, space and aviation is burgeoning. Chinese products, technologies and standards are being recognized more and more in the region. Working hand in hand, China and Arab countries have built the highest skyscraper in Africa, the world's largest solar thermal power plant, and the first Middle East's cleanest coal-fired power plant, among other achievements. The two sides also signed the Cooperation Initiative on Data Security, contributing to the formulation of global digital economic rules.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Arab countries have fought should to shoulder, becoming an exemplar of mutual assistance in difficult times. At the expo, delegates spoke highly of how China and Arab countries share weal and woe in the fight against the pandemic. To date, China has shipped nearly 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Arab states in the form of assistance or exports. We are working with the countries including UAE and Egypt in joint filling and production of vaccines. In the post-pandemic era, China and Arab countries will continue to deepen investment cooperation in health sectors including medical supplies procurement and joint vaccine production to boost regional countries' efforts to overcome the virus and revitalize their economies.
The two sides agreed in July 2021 to hold the inaugural China-Arab summit. China stands ready to work together with Arab countries for a successful summit and make sure the China-Arab community with a shared future can take root, contributing more to fostering a community with a shared future for mankind.
