CRIK Attends 5th China-Arab Reform and Development Forum in Shanghai
The Center for Research and Intercommunication Knowledge took part in the Fifth China-Arab States Forum on Reform and Development, held in Shanghai under the theme 'Implementing Global Development Initiatives and Promoting China-Arab Cooperation Towards a New Direction.' The forum served as a platform to strengthen knowledge exchange and collaboration between China and Arab nations.
Abdulrahman Marshood, Director of the Cultural Studies Unit at the Center, emphasized that successful development projects must begin by shaping the cultural landscape in which they operate. He also argued that development should not be confined to agreements and contracts alone but must also include a strong cultural foundation. 'Culture acts as a catalyst for innovation and a wellspring of inspiration,' he stated.
Marshood also pointed to the Saudi-Chinese Cultural Year as a significant opportunity for fostering joint initiatives and creative collaboration. He noted that the initiative has paved the way for greater integration and knowledge sharing between the two nations.
Moreover, highlighting the strategic importance of Saudi-Chinese ties, he described the relationship as one of the world's most dynamic partnerships—fueled by Saudi Vision 2030, which prioritizes cultural and economic diversification and investment beyond the oil sector.

Fitch expects M&A activity to accelerate in Saudi insurance sector
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Fitch Ratings expects the pace of mergers in the Saudi insurance sector to accelerate over the next two years. Fitch based its forecast on new regulatory capital requirements and weak profitability in underwriting premiums amid intense price competition. Fitch said that some smaller insurers may struggle to meet these requirements or maintain profitability, and may merge with or be acquired by larger insurers as a result. The insurance market in Saudi Arabia is dominated by a few large companies, such as Tawuniya and Bupa Arabia, with their combined market share reaching 52% in 2024.

China Calls for Building up Consensus with US after ‘Candid' Trade Talks
China's Vice Premier He Lifeng said China and the United States should strengthen consensus and maintain communication, state news agency Xinhua reported on Wednesday, after the two countries agreed to get a delicate trade truce back on track. US and Chinese officials, including He, concluded two days of negotiations in London on Tuesday to resolve key trade issues in the two superpowers' bruising tariff war, including on a raft of export control measures that have hobbled global supply chain. The two sides should use their consultation mechanism to further "build up consensus, reduce misunderstandings and strengthen cooperation", He was quoted as saying by Xinhua, describing the talks as candid and in-depth. China and the US should safeguard the hard-won outcome from their dialogue, and push for stable and long-term bilateral trade and economic ties, He said. China's stance on trade issues with the US was clear and consistent, He added, reiterating that China was sincere in trade and economic consultations but had its principles. Beijing and Washington have, after striking a 90-day truce in Geneva last month, suspended most of the triple-digit tariffs they had heaped on each other's goods. But bilateral ties remain strained over unresolved trade issues, such as China's rare earth export controls and US curbs on chip-related exports. The London talks took place after a rare phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump on Thursday. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who represented the US in London, said the new agreement would remove restrictions on Chinese exports of rare earth minerals and magnets and some of the recent US export restrictions "in a balanced way", without providing further details. The two negotiating teams would present the framework to their respective presidents for approval, Lutnick said.
