China's President Proposes Four Points for Building a New Security Architecture in the Middle East

The Chinese ambassador to Cairo, Liao Liqiang, revealed four main proposals put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping for building a new security architecture in the Middle East.

In a post published on the platform "X," he stressed the need for the region's peoples to remain the decision-makers in their own affairs, rejecting external intervention, and affirmed China's support for countries in the region to enhance dialogue on peace and security, and explore ways to establish a new security structure that enables them to take control of their own future.

The ambassador emphasized that enhancing shared security in the region requires adopting a comprehensive approach, given the multiple hotspots across the Middle East and their close interconnections, noting that the Palestinian issue remains at the heart of the Middle East problem and must not be ignored or marginalized, calling for comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of conflicts and promote regional stability.

The proposals underscored the necessity of strengthening the foundation of shared security through development, arguing that lasting peace and stability in the Middle East fundamentally depend on economic and social development, with China expressing readiness to cooperate with regional countries to safeguard international shipping routes, advance developmental cooperation, strengthen alignment of interests among regional nations, gradually build mutual trust, and eliminate the root causes of conflict.

The proposals called for enhanced international coordination to achieve shared security, stressing that the UN Charter and international law should serve as the fundamental principles guiding engagement with the Middle East, urging the international community, especially external powers, to abandon double standards in dealing with the region, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional states, and work toward protecting regional peace and stability.
