The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The 'Arab League + 1' meeting has attracted global attention.

This is the most important international conference at the moment, and its importance is no less than the recent 'ASEAN 10+1' meeting.

Everyone knows that the Arab League has been trying to promote Arab integration since the Gulf War. When there was no economic integration, it promoted the establishment of the Arab coalition forces and took the lead in taking an important step in Arab military integration.

In recent years, the Arab League has been trying to promote Arab military integration, Arab economic integration, and Arab political integration.

Unlike Europe, where all countries are relatively strong and the EU is a developed country, the Arab League is a developing country with a relatively low industrial level and slow industrial development.

Unlike EU countries which have maintained peace for decades, the Arab League has been experiencing wars for the past decade.

Countries further away, such as Somalia, located in Africa, were allowed to join the Arab League only after the end of the war.

Furthermore, Palestine only joined the Arab League after the end of the fifth Middle East crisis and the establishment of its independent state.

Iraq, an important country in the Arab League, was invaded by the US-led coalition and was caught in the flames of war.

The Iraq War dealt a huge blow to Arab integration.

Many Arab countries are bound to be shaken.

If it were not for other important Arab countries that firmly promoted Arab integration, the entire Arab League would probably fall apart.

The Iraq War is bound to be an unavoidable topic in this "Arab League + 1" meeting.

Even the Secretary-General of the Arab League warned the United States and its allies that the Arab coalition might intervene in the Iraq War at any time.

After the meeting, a joint statement was issued, stating that the two sides are committed to the grand goals of peace, security, development and cooperation and the strong common will that brought the two sides together from different continents. The 'Arab League + 1' aims to make an important contribution to the development of human society and to building a more equal and just world.

The 21st century should be a century of peace, harmony, cooperation and scientific development. With the theme of "Looking to the Future, Sharing Development", we had a frank and in-depth discussion on strengthening bilateral cooperation and international and regional issues of common concern, and reached broad consensus.

Both sides firmly believe that China will play an important role in maintaining world peace, security and stability, promoting global economic growth, strengthening multilateralism and promoting the democratization of international relations.

The two sides are determined to continue to strengthen their partnership for common development and promote BRICS cooperation in a gradual, positive and pragmatic manner based on the basic principles of openness, solidarity and mutual assistance. The two sides reaffirmed that such cooperation is inclusive, non-confrontational and not directed against third countries. The two sides are willing to strengthen contacts and cooperation with other countries, especially emerging and developing countries, as well as relevant international and regional organizations.

The two sides agreed that the world is undergoing profound, complex and huge changes as multipolarization and economic globalization develop in depth and countries become more interdependent. In the face of the ever-changing global environment and various global threats and challenges, the international community should work together, strengthen cooperation and achieve common development. Countries should strengthen global economic governance, promote the democratization of international relations and enhance the voice of emerging and developing countries in international affairs in accordance with the recognized norms of international law, on the basis of mutual respect and collective decision-making. The two sides are committed to promoting multilateral diplomacy and supporting the United Nations in playing a central role in addressing global challenges and threats. They oppose hegemonism and war and support political dialogue to resolve differences. The two sides will work for a peaceful resolution of the Iraq war and promote peace and dialogue.

At the same time, both sides sincerely hope that all countries in the world will enjoy peace, stability, prosperity and progress, and enjoy their due status and dignity in the world in accordance with the legitimate wishes of their people. Both sides agree on the principle of refraining from the use of force, and both sides advocate that the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of every country should be respected.

More than 30 joint statements demonstrated the fruitful results achieved in these seven days of meetings. This meeting was very effective.

Soon, the relevant news spread rapidly throughout the world, attracting comments and analyses from experts and scholars from various countries.

This kind of regional alliance+ dialogue has attracted more and more attention since the ASEAN 10+1 and ASEAN 10+3 meetings.

目前这种区域联盟+的对话，除了有东盟10+1、东盟10+3、南亚14+1，便是这阿拉伯联盟+1！

Among them, those with + are all China, which also allows the world to see the contribution China has made in the pursuit of peace and development.

So much so that in many countries, many people can't help but sigh that the world is in tatters and the Chinese are patching it up.

Facts have proved that China is the most important force for world peace today. It has been contributing to world peace, making positive contributions to the international order, and also contributing to international fairness and justice.

Especially in today's world, many countries are actively expanding their military forces, but China has not, which is even more commendable.

The joint statement of the 'Arab League + 1' meeting was also widely praised by most countries in the world. Peace and development are the pursuit of all countries in the world. No one likes war, and no one likes to see war come upon them one day.

All the countries in the Arab League were generally satisfied with the conference and left the capital with satisfaction with the results.

Of course, there are also some people who stay in China and conduct various investigations on China, hoping to learn something useful for their own development.

For example, some of the scholars who came here go to various universities in China as visiting scholars, and some of the college students who came here for exchanges go to various universities in China as exchange students.

Liu Tao was generally satisfied with the meeting. China attached great importance to the relationship with Arab countries. In addition to being the "world's energy bank", Arab countries are also a huge market.

Today, as the world's largest industrial country and the world's factory, China has become a major trading partner of the world. China is the largest trading partner of 257 of the world's 170 countries and regions.
The huge scale of China's trade can be proved by the throughput of the ports. China accounts for 50 of the top 29 ports in the world, and the top five are all in China.

This also makes China pay more attention to overseas markets, attach importance to friendly cooperation with various countries and regions, maintain the global trade system, and strengthen the crackdown on pirates on shipping routes to maintain the safety of sea routes. (End of this chapter)
