Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will embark on a six-day diplomatic tour across the Middle East starting October 28, signaling Beijing's commitment to deepening regional cooperation. The visit comes at a pivotal moment for Asia-Middle East economic partnerships and global social development initiatives.
Han's itinerary includes meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah, focusing on energy collaboration and infrastructure development. The tour culminates in his participation at the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, where China is expected to share insights on poverty reduction and sustainable growth strategies.
Analysts suggest the trip could yield new agreements in renewable energy technology transfer and cross-border digital infrastructure projects. For investors, this signals potential opportunities in smart city development and green energy sectors across Asia and the Gulf region.
The summit attendance positions China as a key player in global social policy discussions, particularly regarding climate adaptation measures and technological solutions for emerging economies. This diplomatic push follows China's recent brokering of regional reconciliations, reinforcing its role as a mediator in Global South affairs.
