In 2011, the trade volume between China and the Middle East countries exceeded 268.9 billion US dollars.creating a record high, and the year-on-year growth was 36.5%.The brilliant cooperation between the two sides in humanities, education and journalism fully demonstrated a strong willingness and a great potential on both parties to develop mutual relations.
Overall, China's policies towards the Middle East upheaval are correct and its measures are appropriate.China has successfully changed the past situation of being passively involved rather than actively intervening.China's principled position and flexible and pragmatic attitude, as well as its active participation in the Middle East affairs, have won understanding and recognition of the international community, showing remarkable changes that are taking place in China's Middle East policy, and also that China.as a responsible power is playing an increasingly important and constructive role when participating in global governance.
