Chen Chuandong, Chinese Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, delivered a speech in the event. He noted that, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Jordan in 1977, the two countries have witnessed continuous, health and stable development of mutual relations as well as more and more active exchanges at all levels and in all fields. China has become Jordan's third largest trading partner and second largest source of imports. In the future, both parties should consolidate political mutual trust and strengthen strategic communication; highlight complementary advantages and enhance mutual benefit and win-win results; strengthen people-to-people exchanges; and expand cooperation platforms and build a China-Arab community with a shared future.

Jordan, a model country for peace and stability in the Middle East, boasts a good investment environment and high-quality human resources. Chinese enterprises have already cooperated with Jordan in the fields of traditional energy, renewable energy, and information technology. In the future, Jordan will continue to vigorously provide policy support and facilitate the development of Chinese enterprises.

Du Zhanyuan, President of China International Communication Group (CICG), stressed that seeking cooperation and development had become the common aspiration of all countries in the world, including China and Jordan.
