Doha, Qatar – Chinese Vice President Han Zheng arrived in Qatar’s capital to join the Second World Summit for Social Development and meet Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. Breaking the ice with warm greetings from President Xi Jinping, Han set the stage for deeper China-Qatar teamwork. 🤝
Han praised Qatar’s unique influence in the Middle East and highlighted the strong political trust that forms the backbone of their partnership. He recalled last year’s “Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus” meeting, where President Xi and the Qatari emir agreed to ramp up bilateral ties.

He also mentioned China’s upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), promising that China’s growth will create golden opportunities for friends like Qatar. 🚀💡
The Qatari emir reciprocated the enthusiasm, calling China its largest trading partner and thanking Han for Beijing’s support on territorial sovereignty and national security. He reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to the one-China principle and expressed eagerness to follow China’s 15th Five-Year Plan roadmap to expand cooperation across the board.
As the summit kicks off, the two sides are ready to supercharge their strategic partnership and write an exciting new chapter in China-Qatar relations. Stay tuned for more updates from Doha! 🌍✨
