“We focus on economy, trade and development, which help these countries to tackle domestic and regional difficulties,” said Wu Bingbing. “But Western countries mainly care about political and security interests.”

Wu noted that each country has its unique role in the Middle East, and should play out its own advantages and stick to its own principles.

“The current turmoil in the Middle East is to a large extent due to the wrong policies by the West,” said Li.

Allam said big differences exist between the Western countries and China with regard to policies on Middle East.

“The West always looks upon the Middle East with colonial and imperialism sight ... The West works on undermining the Middle East and spread chaos and difference, spread religious seditions to easily control its wealth,” he said.

“However, the Chinese policy on the region is based on development, cooperation, building capabilities of the regional countries, defending the Middle East and African rights without internal intervention. The Chinese policies help push the train of development in the region, raise the living standards without depleting the region's resources or wealth,” said the former ambassador. (SH)
