What will be the fate of US-Saudi relations after the Riyadh meeting?
Following the signing of the agreement between China and Saudi Arabia after the meeting in Riyadh and the report of the American media regarding the punishment of Al Saud due to its oil policies, questions are raised about the fate of Washington and Riyadh.
According to Tasnim International News Agency, when the summit of the Arab countries and China was held under the supervision of Al Saud regime in Riyadh, the American media published reports, information and analysis about the intention of the American Congress to punish the Saudi government because of its oil policies as well as the war. published against Yemen.
According to Al Jazeera Mirror, the report and news of the American media regarding the intentions of the US Congress to punish Saudi Arabia on the eve of the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Riyadh shows the consequences of this trip on the troubled relations between Riyadh and Washington.
The holding of the Arab and Chinese summits in Riyadh takes place in the shadow of the polarization of the world’s great powers.
At the summit of Arab countries and China, “Mohammed bin Salman”, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, emphasized the exceptional nature of this event. He considered this meeting as a new stage in the development of relations between the Arab countries and China and strengthening the partnership between the two sides. Xi Jinping also said that the Arab-Chinese meeting is an important event in the history of bilateral relations.
In this context, some observers believe that the Al Saud regime and other Arab countries are trying to find other allies in the international arena, considering the consequences of the Russian war in Ukraine and the feeling of American allies being abandoned by this country.
China is also seeking to diversify its cooperation with Persian Gulf countries and Arab countries. Victor Gao, head of China International Studies Association, said in an interview with Al Jazeera: What is important for Beijing is to expand cooperation in the field of technology and defense. China has great potential, and unlike other countries that refuse to sell advanced military systems to Arab countries, it has no qualms about selling the best military technologies to them.
