Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for deeper oil and gas cooperation with the United Arab Emirates during his official tour of the Middle East.
On Saturday, December 13, the top diplomat held talks with his UAE counterpart to discuss expanding economic relations between the two nations.
Beijing has pledged broader collaboration in investment, energy, and infrastructure projects with the Gulf state.
As China continues to grow its global influence, securing stable energy sources and building strong regional partnerships remain top priorities for its foreign policy agenda.
This visit marks part of Wang’s diplomatic tour to three Middle Eastern countries. China, already a major importer of Iranian oil, has recently intensified its efforts to boost trade ties across Central Asia and the Middle East to support its growing economic needs.
