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，国家主席习近平在中阿合作论坛第六届部长级会议开幕式上提出中阿共建“一带一路”，多年来，中阿合作不断走深走实，双方各领域务实合作成果丰硕。中国和阿拉伯国家将继续心手相连，携手构建面向新时代的中阿命运共同体，为促进世界持久和平与共同发展不断作出新的贡献。

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."
