Highlights of Xi's speech

The friendship between the Chinese and Arab peoples is deeply rooted in our friendly exchanges along the ancient Silk Road, in our joint struggles for national liberation and in our win-win cooperation in promoting national development.

In a world of growing diversity, more dialogue means less confrontation and more inclusiveness means less estrangement.

Building a China-Arab community with a shared future is a strong statement of our common desire for a new era of China-Arab relations and a better future for the world.

War should not continue indefinitely. Justice should not be absent forever.

Commitment to the two-state solution should not be wavered at will.
