Xi Hosts Arab Leaders From Egypt, UAE, Bahrain as China-Middle East Ties Widen - Bloomberg

Oct 15, 2024Oct 15, 2024

President Xi Jinping will meet Arab leaders this week seeking deeper ties in a region where China does plenty of business — and increasingly diplomacy, too.

Xi will address the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum in Beijing on Thursday with heads of state from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Tunisia among the attendees. Talks will likely focus on fast-growing trade and investment, and regional security concerns amid the Israel-Hamas war.
