Discussing the impact of the Iran-America conflict on the Gulf Arab states and Kuwait, Al-Jarallah stated he hopes “Beijing will play an active role in de-escalation.” He described China as “a great nation with influence among various parties, which enables it to work effectively to stop the war.” The Editor-in-Chief also recalled a 15-day trip to China, praising “the remarkable progress it achieved in recent decades, which allowed it to enter global markets strongly.”

He referenced recent development agreements signed under the Silk Road and the Belt and Road Initiative. He expressed gratitude for Al- Jarallah’s favorable view of Chinese efforts and hoped that “relations between China and Kuwait will continue on their current path of development.” “I have been following Gulf-Chinese relations in general, and Kuwaiti- Chinese relations in particular, for some time now. I have been very pleased with this important development,” he said. He added that since 1971, the relationship between Beijing and Kuwait has been improving year after year. Ambassador Yang Xin concluded “I recall that the first Arab support for China at that time came from the Kuwait Fund for Development. This undoubtedly distinguishes our strong friendship and ongoing relations with the State of Kuwait from that time until today.” Managing Editor of the Arab Times Marlon Aquino Malinao also attended the meeting.
