乘势而上:中国斡旋沙特伊朗复交及其影响

China’s Role in the Resumption of Saudi Arabia-Iran Diplomatic Relations and Its Implications

中东权力格局进入多极化时代,地区国家争相改善外部环境,以发展经济为首要任务,主要大国间关系有所改善,中东进入以政治缓和、经济发展为主要特征的新时代。以2022年12月中阿峰会为标志,中国中东政策从以经济为中心向融合经济、政治、安全等维度的综合性政策转变。中国适时抓住中东变化机遇,成功斡旋沙特与伊朗建交,既为中东和平作出重大贡献,也为中国的新中东外交开了好头。

The Middle East is entering an era of multipolarity characterized by political détente and economic development. Countries scramble to improve their external environment and focus on domestic economic development, and the relations between major powers in the region have witnessed a significant improvement. Since the China-Arab States Summit in December 2022, China’s Middle East policy has shifted its focus from economics to multiple dimensions involving economy, politics and security. Seizing the changes in the regional landscape, China successfully brought Saudi Arabia and Iran to the negotiating table and played a mediating role in the resumption of their diplomatic relations, which has significantly contributed to peace in the conflict-ridden region and marks a good start for China’s Middle East diplomacy in the new era.
