He stated that this region should not become a battleground for great powers and geopolitical disputes, and China is prepared to cooperate with Arab countries to achieve lasting peace.
Increased Chinese Efforts in the Middle East

These tensions, which have intensified following the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran, have disrupted the Strait of Hormuz and increased global energy and maritime transport costs. The President of China stated: "The world is experiencing profound changes" and emphasized the need for joint efforts to achieve peace and stability in this region.
