Chinese, Arab youths gather in Zhuhai

Youths from China and Arab states were urged to promote mutually beneficial endeavors and implement the Belt and Road Initiative at the third China-Arab States Young Political Leaders Forum, which concluded in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, on Thursday.

China has signed cooperative BRI documents with 22 Arab countries and the League of Arab States and implemented more than 200 projects in the past decade, transforming the lives of numerous youths, said Liu Jianchao, head of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, at the opening ceremony of the forum on Wednesday.

Liu expressed hope that Chinese and Arab youths will unite and pioneer global reform to build a fairer and more equitable future for the next generation.
