Reflecting on the progress, President Xi highlighted successful collaboration efforts in various fields, along with deepening cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
China's President also recalled the May state visit of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to China, where both leaders achieved agreements that will chart the course for their strategic partnership in the years ahead.
