On November 2, 2025 local time, Vice President Han Zheng held talks with Kuwait's Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah at Bayan Palace in Kuwait City.

Han Zheng noted that Kuwait is a country with a unique and significant influence in the Middle East, and also an important strategic partner of China. China has always placed Kuwait in an important position in its Middle East diplomacy. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the strategic partnership between the two countries has witnessed steady growth. Next year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Kuwait. China is ready to take this opportunity to work with Kuwait to implement the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, further consolidate the traditional friendship, deepen political mutual trust, enhance practical cooperation in various fields such as energy and high technology, and elevate bilateral relations to a new height. China is also ready to strengthen coordination with Kuwait to work for greater progress in collective cooperation between China and Arab states as well as between China and the GCC countries, jointly promote multilateralism, and make global governance more just and equitable, so as to make contributions to increasing the voice and influence of the Global South in international affairs.

Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah stated that China is an important strategic partner of Kuwait, and the two countries enjoy a close and solid friendship. Kuwait supports China in safeguarding its core interests and is willing to expand cooperation with China, implement bilateral cooperation projects, and promote greater development of Kuwait-China relations. Recently, President Xi Jinping held a successful meeting with U.S. President Donald J. Trump, sending a positive signal to the world. As the global order is undergoing profound adjustments, Kuwait firmly supports multilateralism, and highly appreciates China's role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in upholding justice in international affairs and its fair stance on the Palestinian question. Kuwait is willing to strengthen multilateral coordination with China and make joint efforts to safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East.
