The visit, announced Thursday by China's foreign ministry spokesperson, will include high-level meetings with leaders like UAE's Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Saudi Arabia's Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud. Analysts predict discussions will cover everything from energy security to tech innovation – key areas where these nations intersect with China's Belt and Road Initiative.
"This tour underscores our commitment to win-win cooperation in the region," the spokesperson stated, highlighting China's role as Saudi Arabia's largest trading partner (💰 $106 billion in bilateral trade last year!). With Jordan being a newer player in China's investment landscape, all eyes are on potential infrastructure and renewable energy deals.
