Therefore, the prominent Arab participation in the summit gained special importance, as an occasion for sharing common visions, as well as A very large scope for cooperation and joint investment has been opened for all countries participating in this summit.
The modern management of the economy should be the focus of the work of all Arab governments, as building a strong economy capable of achieving the desired qualitative change should be based primarily on investing the creativity of the enormous youth energies, and creating great investment opportunities that produce a variety of job opportunities, especially since the Arab countries It is characterized by the fact that the largest proportion of its population are young people.

It can be said that these summits succeeded in drawing a road map for the relationship between China and the Arab countries during the coming years, in a way that achieves the interests of all, and at that time respects the sovereignty and values of these countries.
