The Chinese Embassy in Jordan hosted a reception on Wednesday evening to celebrate the 77th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Guo Wei told attendees that His Majesty King Abdullah II’s state visit to China last month, his ninth overall, is a "major milestone" following an invitation by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The summit resulted in 25 bilateral agreements expanding strategic cooperation across trade, investment, energy, tourism, the green economy, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Given Jordan's skilled talent and strategic position, he added, Chinese businesses increasingly view the Kingdom as a "golden gateway" for investment.

The envoy also pointed to strong political alignment, with Jordan upholding the One China policy and China supporting Hashemite Custodianship in Jerusalem.

Addressing regional stability, Guo outlined the Chinese president's four-point proposal for the Palestinian cause, backing the two-state solution, governance by Palestinians, and adherence to international law.

Looking ahead, Amman and Beijing plan to leverage their shared 50th diplomatic anniversary next year to align China's 15th Five-Year Plan with the second phase of Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision, according to the ambassador.
