The discussions centered on de-escalating tensions in the Gulf region following recent conflicts in Iran.
"China will continue to promote dialogue and play a constructive role in restoring peace," Premier Li stated, emphasizing Beijing's ongoing diplomatic engagements with Middle Eastern partners. Since the outbreak of hostilities, Chinese officials have maintained close communication with regional stakeholders while advocating for conflict resolution through multilateral frameworks.
The talks also addressed security concerns for Chinese nationals and enterprises in the UAE, with Premier Li urging continued protection measures for expatriates and infrastructure projects. This meeting underscores China's growing involvement in Middle Eastern geopolitics as it balances economic interests with peacekeeping objectives.
