Lin Songtian said that China and Arab countries have similar values and concepts, and have made important contributions to human civilization and social progress. Both the Chinese and Arab countries and peoples are serious victims and staunch opponents of Western colonialism, imperialism and hegemonism, and have always understood and supported each other. Under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both sides, the China-Arab strategic partnership has not only achieved fruitful results, benefiting the people of both sides, but has also become a strong force firmly upholding multilateralism, international fairness and justice, and world peace and development. At present, the common pursuit of the people of the world to live a peaceful, harmonious and prosperous life is not only facing the "natural disaster" raging around the world due to the COVID-19 epidemic, but also the "man-made disaster" caused by geopolitics and the Cold War mentality in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The outbreak of this crisis may seem accidental, but it is in fact inevitable. In essence, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the result of the US-led NATO inciting ideological confrontation and group confrontation to safeguard its own interests and hegemony, fully exposing the greed, barbarism, bloodshed and selfishness and hypocrisy of hegemony of capital monopoly.

The Afghan guests unanimously appreciated and thanked the conference for hosting this event, and said that it is the right time to hold this dialogue at a critical juncture when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine combined with the epidemic of the century has endangered people's livelihood around the world. In the face of the global crisis, the Chinese and Arab non-governmental friendship organizations have united closely, voiced a voice of justice in a timely manner to safeguard world peace and safeguard the common interests of the Chinese and Arab people, and strongly called on China and Arab states to join hands to build a China-Arab community with a shared future for the new era. The non-governmental friendly organizations of China and Arab states should give full play to the advantages of non-governmental organizations, mobilize the people's strength, and deepen bilateral cooperation in the fields of local governments, sister cities, education and culture, media think tanks, technological innovation, etc. Make a positive contribution to the interest basis and public opinion social basis.

The participants agreed that the Ukrainian crisis seems to have occurred in Europe, but it has endangered people all over the world, seriously damaged the security and stability of the global industrial chain, supply chain, and capital chain, and severely hampered the efforts and prospects of developing countries to achieve sustainable development , so that the working people all over the world, including the Arab countries, face a serious crisis of production and survival and the threat of famine. Through this crisis, the United States can be said to have a lot of money with one stone. It can not only control the global energy and food markets and divert domestic crises, but also achieve its goal of depriving Europe of its strategic autonomy, weakening Russia, and deterring China. Therefore, the Ukrainian crisis is in danger of becoming protracted and complicated, and the people of the world must be highly vigilant. Hegemonism is detrimental to others and unpopular; it is unfeasible to ignore the security concerns of other countries and blindly seek its own absolute security; incite ideological confrontation and group confrontation will only bring chaos to the world; unilateral sanctions with double standards and no moral bottom line are obviously undemocratic and irrelevant. Human rights to speak of. They unanimously call on the governments and people of all countries in the world to actively implement the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative, join hands to take a new path of win-win cooperation, common development, and common security, and oppose the old path of you-lose-me-win, zero-sum game, and group confrontation.Editor/XingWentao
