They engaged in in-depth discussions on how the younger generation can build closer bridges of cooperation. Participants unanimously affirmed that China and Arab states remain committed to the path of peaceful development, mutual learning, mutual benefit, and win-win outcomes. They expressed the readiness to use the program as an opportunity to share national development experiences and opportunities, and to work together as guardians of peace and security, advocates of open development, and promoters of mutual learning among civilizations—contributing youthful energy to building a higher-level China-Arab community with a shared future.
