Published in Saudi Press Agency on 06 - 07 - 2020

Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, Minister of Foreign Affairs, participated in the ministerial meeting of the Arab-China States via video conference, that was chaired by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
At the beginning of his speech, the Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his sincere thanks and appreciation to the Foreign Ministers of Jordan and the People's Republic of China on their efforts to ensure the success of the 9th Meeting of the Arab-China Forum, League of Arab States under the leadership of the Secretary General as well as the Arab and Chinese working groups who prepared and facilitated this important meeting.
Prince Faisal said: "The Arab-Chinese cooperation increases in strength and diversity with each passing day. It is a cooperation that is based on mutual respect; respect for the principles of international law and norms; the sovereignty and independence of states; the commitment to peaceful resolutions of conflicts; and the mutual desire to deepen and strengthen the areas of cooperation to realize the interests of both the Arab and Chinese peoples, and It is no wonder that the positions of China and the Arab countries often aligned in international forums, especially in terms of establishing the foundations of peace, security and the prosperity for all peoples. Our joint efforts to face the effects of COVID19 are some of the fruits of this cooperation."
He added that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reaffirms the importance of preserving the unity, sovereignty, and the territorial integrity of Arab lands as well as non-interference in their internal affairs, and reject any attempt to destabilize the region, and all regional interventions that support terrorist militias and ignite sectarian and ethnic strife. These interventions must be met by a serious and strong stand from the international community.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed the Arab countries' support for Chinese sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the One-China principle and strongly value the supportive Chinese position towards the rights of the Palestinian people, the Arab peace initiative, and the two-state solution as well as the affirmed positions on respecting the independence and sovereignty of states and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of countries.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs also said: "We also appreciate the ideas presented by His Excellency, President Xi Jinping, on the common destiny of humankind, and for the ambitious Belt and Road initiative that will facilitate the achievement of higher level of cooperation, development, and common interests. "
Prince Faisal pointed out that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the People's Republic of China's friendly relationship is developing in various areas and is based on a comprehensive strategic partnership. China is the Kingdom's largest trading partner – 13% of the Kingdom's total exports and 15% of the Kingdom's total imports are with China. In addition, as member countries of the Group of 20, both countries embody an approach that supports openness, mutual cooperation, and a contribution to sustainable development.
Prince Faisal considered today's meeting as an additional step in supporting the Arab-Chinese cooperation in its various areas. He Said: "We will soon seek to mark the success of the cooperation by elevating the partnership to an Arab-Chinese Summit, which will be hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
