China-Arab Forum to Boost Trade Ties

A massive Sino-Arab conference is now underway in northwest China.

The second China-Arab States Economic and Trade Forum¹ is taking place in Ningxia's capital of Yinchuan.

Jia Qinglin, China's top political advisor², has opened the forum, saying the Chinese government plans to continue providing financial and technological³ support for Chinese companies that wish to build infrastructure⁴ in Arab states.

Jia also says the central government is also planning to make it easier for Arab countries to do business here in China.

More than 7-thousand delegates from 76 countries and regions are attending this year's conference in Yinchuan.
