Foreign Minister Wang Yi had an important bilateral meeting with Argentine Foreign Minister Mundino on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
This was the first face-to-face meeting between the Chinese and Arab foreign ministers after Argentina's new ** renounced its membership in the BRICS group, and the topics discussed were quite meaningful.
During the talks, Wang Yi said that China respects the choice of the Argentine people, expressed confidence in the challenges facing the country, and stressed that there is no substantive conflict between China and Argentina. He stressed his willingness to consolidate the comprehensive strategic partnership with the Arab side, enhance mutual trust, deepen cooperation, and promote the development of bilateral relations.
This statement shows that Milley's "withdrawal from the group" BRICS has not had a huge impact on Sino-Arab relations.
The analysis generally believes that the reason why Millai withdrew from the BRICS is mainly based on two reasons. Argentina is facing economic challenges and social polarization, with plans to implement comprehensive changes. Argentina** listened to the negative remarks of the United States on the BRICS and chose to strengthen cooperation with the United States. This may reflect a misunderstanding of the BRICS mechanism, since joining the BRICS does not prevent Argentina from cooperating with the United States, but rather provides it with more opportunities to interact with developing countries.
The withdrawal from BRICS has not hampered bilateral relations between China and Argentina. During the talks, Wang Yi stressed that deepening China-Arab cooperation is in line with the interests of both sides and the expectations of the people, especially strengthening strategic synergy and mutually beneficial cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Mundino also said that China-Argentina relations have always been very important to Argentina, and the two sides have strong complementarity in development and great potential for cooperation. He praised China for never interfering in other countries' internal affairs and said that he would continue to pursue the one-China policy.
The positive response of the Arab side shows that it remains rational in its relations with China and does not neglect cooperation with China because of its preference for the United States. Regardless of whether Argentina joins the BRICS or not, China-Argentina cooperation will continue to develop. As long as Argentina respects China's core interests and places China-Argentina relations in an important position, China will continue to play the role of Argentina's second largest economic and trade partner and promote the deepening of bilateral relations. The talks laid a positive foundation for the future development of Sino-Arab relations.
