BRI deal boosts cooperation between China, Arab states

Beijing has signed cooperation documents on the Belt and Road Initiative with all 22 Arab nations and the League of Arab States, after such a deal was reached between China and Jordan last week.

The latest memorandum of understanding was signed by Chen Chuandong, Chinese ambassador to Jordan, and Zeina Toukan, Jordan's minister of planning and international cooperation, in the Jordanian capital Amman on Nov 29.

The ambassador said the signing of the memorandum will strengthen the alignment between the BRI and Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision.
