Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hailed the 10th China-Arab States Cooperation Forum (CASCF) ministerial meeting as a ‘historic milestone’ on Thursday, with Beijing announcing it will host the second China-Arab States Summit in 2026. The announcement, made by President Xi Jinping, promises to turbocharge collaboration between China and Arab nations on trade, tech, and cultural ties.
Wang emphasized the forum’s ‘strongest call’ for supporting Palestine, with both sides adopting a joint statement demanding urgent action to end the Gaza conflict and achieve a lasting solution.
‘This isn’t just diplomacy—it’s a blueprint for shared futures,’ Wang told reporters, highlighting new agreements like the Beijing Declaration and a 2024-2026 action plan. From energy partnerships to AI innovation, the forum’s outcomes read like a roadmap for a Netflix-worthy global collaboration series.
