China and Saudi Arabia have closer and better relations.

The friendship between China and Saudi Arabia has a long history, and the two peoples have had exchanges with each other for a long time in history. At the beginning of the 7th century AD, the prophet Muhammad of Islam once left a famous saying that lasted forever: "Although learning is far away in China, you should still seek it." This sentence not only affirmed the value of Chinese culture and the connection between the two sides, but also inspired future generations to continue and strengthen exchanges.

After the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Saudi Arabia in 1990, relations between the two countries have developed significantly. The two sides have maintained close exchanges at all levels, mutual understanding and trust have increased day by day, and cooperation in various fields such as politics, economy, trade, and culture has yielded fruitful results.

In 2008, the trade volume between the two countries reached more than 16 billion US dollars, and Saudi Arabia has become China's largest trading partner in West Asia and North Africa. Looking to the future, China-Saudi Arabia friendly relations with mutually beneficial, win-win and pragmatic cooperation have a solid foundation and broad prospects. China is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and its international status and influence are increasing day by day.

History of Saudi Arabia:

Saudi Arabia before the 20th century Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam. In the 7th century AD, Muhammad founded Islam in Mecca. His successors unified the Arabian Peninsula and gradually established the Arab Empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa. In the 16th century, the Arabian Peninsula became a possession of the Ottoman Empire.

Around 1446, the ancestors of the Saud family left Qatif in the eastern part of the peninsula and settled near the Wadi-Mulga Valley in the Najd region, naming the place Deir Iyeh. From the late 17th century to the early 18th century, the Saud family became one of the three most powerful families in the Najd region.
