On July 8, 2020, H.E. Yue Xiaoyong, a China Forum expert and former Chinese ambassador to Qatar, Jordan and Ireland, attended the "Redefined Stability" webinar (E-Policy Circle series) held by the Beirut Institute. The webinar was chaired by Raghida Dergham, Founder and Executive Chairman of Beirut Institute. Sir John Sawers, former MI6 Chief, Brett Mcgurk, former Special Presidential Envoy for the U.S. campaign against the Islamic State and Rania Al-Mashat, Egypt’s Minister of International Cooperation, also participated in the discussion.

Ambassador Yue stressed China is focusing on developing itself and maintaining peaceful and stable relations with all countries. China is firmly committed to upholding multilateralism, which is the key to tackle tough global challenges.

With regard to Middle East, the principle China holds is refraining from intervening in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. China always adheres to the principle of peaceful development, and looks forward to actively cooperating with countries around the world, including the United States, Europe and the Middle East, so as to achieve the win-win results.
