China and Oman Call for Middle East Peace During Sultan’s State Visit to Beijing
China and Oman urged talks and a ceasefire as Beijing said the region should not become a battleground for great-power rivalry.
- On Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said in Beijing that the Middle East should not become a "battleground for great-power rivalry," as China seeks to help end regional tensions.
- Arriving in Beijing on Sunday for a two-day visit, Haitham represents the first Omani head of state to travel to China since the nations established diplomatic ties in 1978.
- China serves as Oman's largest trade partner, with direct flights between Beijing and Muscat since November last year boosting commerce; the leaders discussed renewable energy and a preferential bilateral trade agreement.
- Beijing is coordinating with Arab nations, including the Gulf Cooperation Council, to restore stability amid the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has disrupted the Strait of Hormuz and driven up energy costs.
- Xi, who noted the world is undergoing "profound changes unseen in a century," pledged to contribute "wisdom and solutions" to regional security dilemmas as China prepares to dispatch special envoys for de-escalation.
