In a statement he made marking the Arab-Chinese economic conference scheduled for June 11 and 12, Nass affirmed that China is an important partner for the Arab world, as the joint cooperation between them dates back over 1,500 years ago since the ancient Silk Road, which linked the Chinese and Arab civilizations. Nass highlighted the upward trajectory of Arab-Chinese trade, which has exceeded 319.295 billion dollars, noting that Chinese foreign direct investment in the Arab countries exceeded 23 billion dollars, an over two folds increase in the past 10 years.
Nass stressed that cooperation between the Arab and Chinese sides should be intensified, particularly in promising areas such as high-tech development, including 5G communications, renewable energy, space, digital economy and logistics.
