- Xi Visits Saudi Arabia | President Xi Jinping visited Saudi Arabia this week for several summits, including a Saudi-Chinese summit, a China-Arab summit, and a China-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit. Xi will meet with leaders from 14 Arab heads of state during his trip, which has been called a “milestone” for Arab-Chinese relations. During Xi’s visit, China and Saudi Arabia signed 34 energy and investment agreements. Saudi Arabia’s goal is to increase trade with Beijing and regional security, but observers say this meeting is another instance of American allies growing closer to China.
