Pak Sahafat – A Saudi expert on international issues strongly criticized the American policies in the region and said that Washington only thinks about its own unilateral interests and not about others.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency’s report on Friday, “Wajdi Al-Qulaiti”, an expert on Saudi international issues, said in an interview with Sputnik news agency, referring to the meetings that are going to be held at the summit level between China and Arab countries during the current visit of the Chinese president to Riyadh: These meetings can create many variables.
He added: China’s goal is to improve its image in the Arab world within the framework of the “Silk Road” marketing project, and it wishes to strengthen its relations with the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Middle East.
This expert expressed his opinion: What characterizes the “unconditional” cooperation between Arab countries and China is an important starting point.
He emphasized: Saudi Arabia has been moving towards diversifying its alliances for several years, and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf have the same approach. Especially since Washington can always retreat if it fulfills its own unilateral interests – without thinking about others; As happened in Afghanistan.
This Saudi expert noted: The re-engineering of relations in the Persian Gulf and the Arab region takes into account common interests; Not the unilateral interests that some countries, including the United States, do.
