Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudanese revealed on Friday 4 steps that his government will focus on in the next stage, stressing Iraq's aspiration to strengthen the partnership within the Belt and Road Initiative.

This came in his speech during the Arab-Chinese summit held in the Saudi capital Riyadh, according to a statement issued by his office and reported to Shafaq News.

Al-Sudani said, “I would like to commend the importance of holding this summit, which comes within a deep understanding of the international arena, so that we can adopt a balanced and complementary foreign policy that serves the interests of our peoples and countries and promotes stability and prosperity,” adding that “Iraq supports all efforts aimed at strengthening the steady cooperation and friendship relations between Arab countries and China.

He explained, "This summit is an opportunity for economic integration in our region by strengthening cooperation with China, and benefiting from Chinese expertise in various fields, without forgetting the experiences of combating poverty and epidemics, developing saltwater agriculture, and efforts to combat desertification."

He continued, "Iraq has long-standing relations with China that have gained a growing amount of interest and development over the past years at the governmental and popular levels, and it looks forward to strengthening partnership within the Belt and Road Initiative, and within the fields of investment, energy and infrastructure projects."

The Iraqi Prime Minister said, “Our steps in the next stage will focus on a number of areas, including:

First: Developing the economy and providing services, and I invite you today to open up the economy to Iraq, as it represents a promising environment for investment, and has important human and material success ingredients.

Second: Not allowing Iraq to be a base or a corridor for aggression against neighboring countries. We reject at the same time the aggression on our lands, and everyone must respect Iraq's sovereignty.
Our country was subjected to a brutal terrorist attack, which threatened the entire world. However, the Iraqis stood in self-defense, the region and the world, and made great sacrifices and dear blood, and victory was achieved. We know that the countries of the region and the world will not forget that honorable battle of ours, and will stand with us in our renaissance in gratitude and loyalty.

Third: Our region is the heart of the world and the link between the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. It occupies a distinguished strategic position in the field of energy. Iraq is the center of this region historically and culturally, and among the most important oil-exporting countries in the world.
Therefore, we affirm our keenness on the stability of the global economic system through our role as a founding member of OPEC, and we aim with our partners to achieve stability in oil production and prices in a way that achieves the balanced interests of producers and consumers.

Fourth: We affirm Iraq's steadfast and principled commitment, its standing by the Palestinian people, and its defense of its right to its national state, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.

He continued, “Our region represents an increasing weight in a changing world, and together we must shape our future in it, in a way that achieves our positive openness to all friends on the one hand, and our insistence on imposing respect for our values and privacy on the other hand.

He concluded by saying, “We extend the hand of brotherhood to our brothers, neighbors, and friends, and we cherish our open relations with the countries of the West and the East on the basis of common interests.”

China’s Xi meets Arab leaders including Iraqi PM on Saudi trip

• China's Xi meets Arab leaders including Iraqi PM on Saudi trip - Iraqi News

Chinese President Xi Jinping is due to meet a swathe of Arab leaders on Friday

Riyadh – Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet Arab leaders in the Saudi capital on Friday for summits he has described as “milestone events” at a time of economic uncertainty and geopolitical realignment.

The meetings come on the third and final day of Xi’s first visit to Saudi Arabia since 2016 and only his third overseas trip since the coronavirus pandemic began.

On Thursday, he met with King Salman and Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announcing deals on everything from hydrogen energy to housing, although few details were released.

Friday’s agenda was expected to include a summit with the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council as well as a broader China-Arab summit.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani were among the heads of state who arrived on Thursday, with leaders from Qatar, Lebanon, Tunisia and elsewhere also planning to attend.

“China looks forward to working with Saudi Arabia and Arab countries to make the two summits milestone events in the history of China-Arab relations and China-GCC relations,” Xi said on Thursday in remarks carried by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

The Gulf countries, strategic partners of Washington, are bolstering ties with China as part of an eastward turn that involves diversifying their fossil fuel-reliant economies.

Meanwhile China is trying to widen its sphere of influence, notably through its Belt and Road Initiative, in which it is providing funding for infrastructure projects around the world.

– ‘Prestige’ trade deals –

Officials have provided few details about Friday’s agenda, but one potential area of focus is a China-GCC free trade agreement that has been under discussion for nearly two decades.

“China will want to draw the lengthy negotiations to a close, as FTAs with major trading blocs is a matter of prestige for Beijing,” said Robert Mogielnicki of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.

“It’s not as simple for the GCC states, which seem to be more invested in advancing bilateral ties and are engaged in varying degrees of regional economic competition with their neighbouring member states.”

A breakthrough on the trade deal could help Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter and the Middle East’s biggest economy, diversify its economy in line with the Vision 2030 reform agenda championed by Prince Mohammed.

Saudi state media have said that bilateral deals worth about $30 billion were expected to be signed during the visit.

Yet Mogielnicki said the significance of any announcements would only be clear if they went beyond pledges.

“When it comes to China’s bilateral relations with the Gulf and broader Middle East, one must remember that signing MoUs (memoranda of understanding) and making investment pledges is much easier than actually committing capital,” he said.

Xi’s Middle East trip has already earned a rebuke from the White House, which on Wednesday warned of “the influence that China is trying to grow around the world”, calling its objectives “not conducive to preserving the international rules-based order”.
