As New China commemorates its 75th anniversary, the nation stands as an example of earth-shaking transformations and remarkable accomplishments. China's development, prosperity, and stability are integral components of global peace, security, and progress.

Not only has China achieved significant domestic economic growth and maintained a leading position in infrastructure development, scientific and technological innovation, and industrial manufacturing, it has also dedicated itself to fostering sustainable human development and upholding peace and stability worldwide. China actively contributes Chinese wisdom and solutions to international affairs and global governance, generously sharing its governance experiences with partner countries.

With a longstanding history of friendship with Middle Eastern nations, China has steadfastly pursued the principle of peaceful development over the past 75 years. The establishment of a community with a shared future for mankind is seen as the fundamental pathway to enduring global peace, including in the Middle East. Currently, China-Arab relations are at their peak, with the Middle East serving as a natural partner in initiatives such as the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative.

China's high-quality collaboration within the Belt and Road Initiative with Middle Eastern countries, aligning development strategies, has significantly contributed to economic growth, boosted local employment rates, and laid a solid economic foundation for ensuring peace in the region.

As against China's peaceful diplomacy in the Middle East, characterized by cooperation, solidarity, and equality, successive US administrations have pursued a regional strategy rooted in the "America First" doctrine. The US' diplomatic approach in the Middle East has often adhered to a hegemonic realist logic, neglecting the well-being and dignity of the region's inhabitants.
China, a steadfast advocate for peace in the international arena, prioritizes the Middle East peace process. Through initiatives like the Global Security Initiative, China played a pivotal role in facilitating reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March 2023, and brokered the signing of the Beijing Declaration by 14 Palestinian factions in July 2024, emphasizing intra-Palestinian unity. China's history and actions in diplomacy underscore its credibility as a trusted partner capable of advancing peace and security in the Middle East.
