Faisal also made clear that "Given the international relations distinguished by multiple alliances and climates conducive to the cement of multilateral cooperation, the China-Arab Cooperation Forum provides a suitable platform to strengthen our ties and deepen our cooperation and serve our common interests, and so we look forward to this forum in its consecutive sessions to develop appropriate mechanisms and efficient plans to turn these visions into a solid reality in all areas and sectors". "If what has been achieved within the framework of this forum in a short period is a matter of satisfaction, the aspirations, opportunities and the potentials are still greater than achieved, especially in the area of joint ventures, direct investment and technology transfer; the volume of China's economy and the Arab Countries provides enormous, promising and fruitful opportunities for further cooperation and thus for building close strategic relationships", Minister of Foreign stressed. --More
