China's President Urges Mideast Autonomy, Offers Regional Security Role
Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day visit to Egypt, his first since 2016, calling on Middle Eastern nations to "be masters of their own destiny" and reject foreign interference. During the visit, Xi proposed considering a new regional security framework and affirmed China's willingness to help safeguard shipping lanes.
Xi emphasized that the Palestinian issue remains the core issue of the Middle East and should not be ignored. He reiterated China's readiness to assist in maintaining the security of maritime trade routes.
The visit underscores China's growing engagement in the Middle East, a region traditionally influenced by other global powers. Xi's remarks suggest a desire by Beijing to play a more active role in regional security and diplomacy.
