Arab Media Expresses Optimism Towards the China-Arab Summit

by Nesrine Kamal

Arab media showed optimism toward the China Arab Summit which kicks off Friday in Saudi Arabia. Only a few hours before its kick-off, Arab media says the summit reflects the “strong position” that Arab countries hold within the new global system.

Director of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, Dr. Mohammed Fayez Farahat, told the Sada Al-Balad TV channel and website that the summit carries great importance in terms of timing as it comes as part of a “new world order” that highlights the importance of the Arab region, after the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
