Amman, May 17 (Petra) -- Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Guo Wei announced Sunday the postponement of the second Arab-China Summit, which had been scheduled to take place in Beijing in mid-June, citing ongoing developments and instability in the region.

Speaking at a press conference in Amman on the recent visit of the US president to China and his meeting with the Chinese president, Guo said Jordanian-Chinese relations, as well as broader Arab-Chinese ties, are witnessing continued progress across various sectors. He added that a new date for the summit will be agreed upon later.

The ambassador said continued instability in the region is "unacceptable," praising Jordan’s efforts under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II to promote stability and contain tensions. He stressed China’s support for all efforts aimed at restoring regional stability.

Guo described the US president’s visit to China as "historic and important," noting that the two presidents held extensive talks focused on strengthening relations.

He added that the two leaders also discussed key international issues and agreed to support cooperation within the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) and the Group of Twenty (G20) summit framework, while underscoring the importance of continued communication and deeper mutual trust and understanding.
