He stated that the partnership between Saudi Arabia and China is “strategic” and “very important”. China is Saudi Arabia’s largest trading partner, and the relationship between the two countries is not limited to trade, but also involves technology, extensive economic and cultural cooperation, and more. We attach great importance to the relationship between Saudi Arabia and China
Recalling his visit to China in May this year, Jia Dan said that he was deeply impressed by the rapid development and tremendous achievements of the Chinese economy, and was very pleased with the continuous promotion of consultation and cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China in the fields of economy and trade.
Recently, the two countries officially signed an implementation plan for hosting the 2025 China Saudi Arabia Cultural Year, laying a solid foundation for deepening cultural cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia. In Jia Dan’s view, this fully demonstrates that the partnership between the two countries is not only between governments, but also among the people.
Jia Dan believes that the joint construction of the “the Belt and Road” initiative is highly consistent with Saudi Arabia’s “2030 Vision”, both based on long-term planning. China is a model for other countries in fulfilling commitments, implementing capabilities, and long-term planning
Jia Dan said, “China has always been a bright spot in the world economy, which is evident to all
According to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, preliminary calculations show that China’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.8% year-on-year in the first three quarters of this year, and the overall operation of the national economy remained stable with progress. Jia Dan believes that this fully demonstrates the resilience and potential of the Chinese economy.
Jia Dan believes that in the context of escalating geopolitical conflicts, cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China is not only beneficial to the region, but also to the world.
He said, “Saudi Arabia should work together with international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and contribute to the challenges faced by countries in the ‘global South’, especially low-income countries and emerging economies, within a multilateral framework
