China will always stick to the path of peaceful development, implement
its mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening-up, and develop
mutually beneficial and friendly cooperation with all other countries on
the basis of the five principles of peaceful co-existence and other
universally-recognized norms governing international relations, said Hu.
China will continue to play a constructive role on world arena and work
together with all other nations around the world to advance the great
cause of promoting peace and development of the whole mankind, he said.
The Chinese and Arab peoples, both peace-loving peoples, have carried out
various kinds of friendly exchanges throughout history, Hu said, noting
that the two peoples have cultivated a profound friendship by supporting
each other in their fight for independence and the improvement of their
economy and the people's livelihood.
The Sino-Arab friendship and cooperation have not only benefited the
common development of the two sides, but also have contributed greatly to
the advancement of human society, said Hu.
He added that under the current situation, China is willing to work with
all Arab countries to promote peace and stability in the Middle East, and
make joint efforts with them to build a harmonious world of lasting peace
and common prosperity.
