China and Saudi Arabia have vowed to supercharge their partnership, with tech innovation, green energy, and Middle East diplomacy taking center stage during Chinese Vice President Han Zheng’s high-profile visit to Riyadh. The five-day trip wrapped up Saturday, signaling deeper collaboration between the two economic powerhouses. 🚀
From AI to Renewable Energy
During meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Han emphasized China’s commitment to expanding cooperation in AI, mining, and renewable energy. The Saudi leader praised China’s role in mediating regional tensions, including its efforts to broker Saudi-Iran reconciliation, and reaffirmed support for the one-China policy.
‘Shared Future’ Vision
At the Future Investment Initiative conference, Han outlined four key proposals: boosting green tech, strengthening global supply chains, promoting inclusive development, and enhancing multilateral governance. He highlighted China’s Global Development Initiative as a roadmap for ‘common prosperity’ among developing nations. 🌱
Cultural & Economic Bridges
The visit also saw business leaders from both countries discuss ramping up Belt and Road projects and cultural exchanges. ‘This isn’t just about oil and trade,’ said one analyst. ‘It’s about shaping the rules of 21st-century innovation – from smart cities to clean energy grids.’ 💡
