Abstract
The Global Development Initiative (GDI), proposed by China in the context of the profound changes in the global governance system and the compounded impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, represents a significant international public good. It aims to promote sustainable development, narrow development gaps, and enhance the self-reliance of developing countries. At present, the Middle East is grappling with interrelated challenges of development, peace, and governance deficits. Intensifying geopolitical rivalries, sluggish economic recovery, limited industrial diversification, and uneven development collectively constrain regional stability and growth. Focusing on key areas such as poverty alleviation, food security, green transformation, and the digital economy, the GDI aligns closely with the strategic priorities of Middle Eastern countries seeking economic diversification and sustainable development. The strong economic complementarity between China and Arab states provides a solid foundation for joint efforts to advance the GDI, with the potential to transform development dividends into drivers of peace, promote regional connectivity, and foster long-term stability. This paper systematically analyzes the alignment between the GDI and development strategies in Middle Eastern countries in terms of policy frameworks, industrial cooperation, and technological innovation. It summarizes prevailing cooperation models and emerging trends, and offers policy recommendations, including strengthening policy coordination, deepening innovation-driven collaboration, and enhancing regional cooperation mechanisms, to support the effective and high-quality implementation of the GDI in the Middle East.
