Deeper cooperation between Arab states and China across all sectors, and advancing modernization hand in hand, will deliver tangible benefits to both peoples while boosting the progress of humanity at large, said Samir Habashneh, chairman of the Jordan-China Cultural Cooperation Committee.
In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Habashneh, who is Jordan's former interior minister, noted that the ancient Arab maxim "Seek knowledge, even unto China" remains highly relevant in shaping contemporary Arab-China relations.

Amity and exchanges between Arab and Chinese people stretch back thousands of years.
While Jordan and China differ in state systems and political frameworks, Habashneh emphasized that China's governance experience offers a valuable reference for Jordan. In particular, Beijing's practical reforms and the strategic development of State-owned enterprises provide ample inspiration for Jordan's own national governance and modernization drive.
