“The future of peace rests on the shoulders of youth.” On July 29, President Xi Jinping sent a letter to the World Youth Peace Conference, stressing that he hopes young friends from all countries will take this conference as an opportunity to exchange ideas, deepen mutual understanding, build friendships, and work together as advocates of peace concepts and actors of peaceful development, contributing wisdom and strength to building a community with a shared future for mankind. The conference brought together over 3,000 youth representatives from more than 140 countries and regions worldwide, under the theme “Harmony and Coexistence, Together for Peace.” Participants discussed the responsibility of youth and envisioned a future of peace. At the conference, the World Youth Peace Initiative was released, calling on young people to be defenders of world peace, pioneers of mutual learning among civilizations, advocates of win-win cooperation, actors in addressing climate change, and promoters of technology for good—working together to safeguard peace, promote development, and create a shared future. The full text of the Initiative is as follows: World Youth Peace Initiative This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. Eighty years ago, in face of the dark and evil forces of fascism, people from different countries, nations, social systems, and ideologies united together and, through tremendous sacrifice, secured the triumph of justice and peace, marking the beginning of a new chapter in rebuilding post-war world order and the pursuit of lasting peace for humanity. Over the past 80 years, under the themes of peace and development and propelled by waves of scientific and technological innovation, human civilization has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity, the world has become more interconnected than ever before, and humanity has increasingly become a community with a shared future that shares weal and woe. Today, 80 years on, transformations of the world unseen in a century are unfolding at a faster pace. Changes of the world, of our times, and of the historical trajectory are taking place in ways like never before. Once again, humanity has come to a crossroads of unity or division, dialogue or confrontation, win-win cooperation or zero-sum games. As representatives of the youth from around the world, we deeply cherish peace and understand the responsibilities borne by our generation. Only by treasuring peace and upholding unity can humanity embrace a brighter future. To this end, we solemnly issue this World Youth Peace Initiative, calling on young people across the globe to unite in safeguarding peace, promoting development, and shaping our shared future. We call on youth to defend world peace. History must not be distorted; justice must be upheld and peace be safeguarded. Young people of all nations should draw wisdom from history and take concrete actions to defend peace, oppose all forms of war and violence, and reject unilateralism, hegemonism, and protectionism. Together, we should defend the hard-won outcomes of the victory in World War II, safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and put true multilateralism into practice, to contribute youthful strength to the cause of global peace. We call on youth to pioneer mutual learning among civilizations. To safeguard world peace, we should first construct defenses of peace in our minds. Young people of all nations should uphold the principles of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among civilizations, and let cultural exchanges transcend estrangement, mutual learning transcend clashes, and coexistence transcend feelings of superiority, to contribute youthful wisdom to fostering harmony among civilizations and deepening friendship among peoples. We call on youth to advocate win-win cooperation. Development is the cornerstone of peace. Young people of all nations should adhere to the philosophy of win-win cooperation and common development. By making full use of multilateral and regional mechanisms and platforms, we should deepen and expand youth cooperation, actively participate in the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the outcomes of the Summit of the Future, to inject fresh momentum into bridging global development divides and promoting inclusive, equitable global growth. We call on youth to tackle climate change. Climate change poses a threat to our shared home on Earth. Young people of all nations should act on the spirit of “promoting global solidarity” and actively engage in global climate actions, to demonstrate commitment of the youth in delivering innovative solutions to the climate crisis, improving global ecological governance, and addressing international challenges hand in hand. We call on youth to promote “technologies for social good.” While technological advances bring opportunities for peace, they also pose new challenges. Young people of all nations should stand at the forefront of emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, shoulder responsibilities, and work for the goal that technological advances benefit the entire humanity, and that digital development remain inclusive, to contribute youthful solutions to improving global tech governance and building an inclusive, fair, and sustainable global future. Eighty years ago, our predecessors illuminated darkness with unity. Eighty years later, it is up to us—the youth—to define the future through action. Let us take the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations as a new starting point, unite for peace and work hand in hand for the shared future of mankind!

“It’s amazing! All my friends are messaging me saying they can’t believe this is real!” said Bahraini influencer Zahra Bakr, beaming with excitement at a tourism promotion event in Manama, the capital of Bahrain. In daily life, she runs an event management company and frequently travels abroad for work. Online, she’s a lifestyle blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers. “I used to prepare visa documents every time I traveled to China. Now, all I need is a passport and a ticket—it’s truly unbelievable!” What has sparked the enthusiastic comments from Gulf netizens? Policy implemented: One passport is all you need for a spontaneous trip to China What thrilled Zahra and her friends was China’s recent major visa-free policy: from June 9, 2025 to June 8, 2026, ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain can enter China without a visa for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges, or transit, for stays not exceeding 30 days. Alongside the UAE and Qatar, which have had reciprocal visa exemption agreements with China since 2018, this marks full visa-free coverage for all member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This means that whether it’s a Saudi entrepreneur looking for new partners in Yiwu, an Omani backpacker planning to visit the Yellow Mountains or the Great Wall, or a Kuwaiti family wanting their children to meet pandas — all they need is a passport to embark on a spontaneous trip to China. Statistics reflect the breadth and depth of this policy: with the addition of these four countries, the number of countries eligible for China’s unilateral visa-free policy has reached 47, forming an open network that covers major global economic and cultural zones. At a regular press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized the significance of this move, stating, “The growing visa-free list demonstrates China’s unwavering commitment to advancing high-level opening-up. The continuous improvement of travel facilitation measures shows China’s determination to build an open world economy through concrete action.” Looking ahead, China will embrace “wider opening-up and deeper cooperation to share prosperity with the world.” This is not just a policy shift — it is a powerful signal of China’s openness to the world. The Gulf Is “Boiling with Excitement”: From Official Praise to Public Anticipation China’s Visa-Free Policy Headlines Across Gulf Country Social Media Once announced, the policy quickly sparked a wave of enthusiasm across many Gulf countries. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately posted on the social platform “X” stating that this move “will encourage mutual visits between the peoples of the two countries and deepen their friendship.” Mainstream media in Kuwait and Oman promptly reported this major favorable policy, swiftly conveying the good news of easier travel to their citizens. Bahrain’s Minister of Tourism, Fatima, openly said in an interview, “The people of Bahrain have long desired to travel to China, and the implementation of the visa-free policy will further encourage Bahrainis to visit China; we also hope Chinese tourists will come to Bahrain to see and experience our rich tourism offerings.” Her words were full of anticipation for deeper future exchanges in both directions. The market response was direct and rapid. Data shows that on the first day after the policy was announced, searches for flights from GCC countries to China surged by 90% month-on-month, with Saudi tourists leading in search popularity, demonstrating the public’s eager anticipation for travel to China. Market Response: Competing to Seize the Momentum of the “China Fever” Faced with such overwhelming demand, the aviation and tourism markets quickly responded with keen sensitivity. The aviation industry took the lead. On June 28, Hainan Airlines announced a new direct flight route from Haikou to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while Emirates Airlines began operating daily direct flights from Dubai to Shenzhen starting July. These new flights will undoubtedly significantly reduce travel time and costs, giving wings to tourism and business exchanges between the two countries. Tourism service providers were equally quick to act. On the day the visa-free policy was announced, Kanoo Travel, one of the largest travel groups in the Gulf, launched four new “China tours” targeting residents of the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, promoting a variety of customized itineraries. Its CEO stated that the visa exemption has created new possibilities for cultural and business cooperation between China and the Arab world. Video | The “Hello! China” Tourism Promotion Event Went Viral On-site in Bahrain Offline promotions were equally vibrant. From June 20 to 22, the Chinese Embassy in Bahrain, together with the China Cultural Center in the UAE, held a “Hello! China” tourism promotion event at Bahrain’s largest shopping mall. Lion dance performances and tea ceremonies attracted large crowds. At the consultation desks, many visitors eagerly took notes and excitedly discussed whether to visit Beijing or Chengdu first. As one attendee remarked, “Visa-free access has turned the dream of traveling to China into a ‘go whenever you want’ reality.” Tracing the Popularity: The Dual Drivers of Collaborative Foundations and Cultural Appeal In fact, even before the policy was officially implemented, economic, trade, and energy cooperation between China and the GCC countries had been steadily intensifying. As one of the largest trading partners of the GCC, the bilateral trade volume between China and the Gulf reached 288.09 billion USD in 2024. In addition, China is the largest oil importer of the Gulf countries and an increasingly preferred market for many Gulf enterprises going global. Posts about their “China trip” shared by UAE influencers have received a large number of likes. Beyond strong economic ties, China’s cultural appeal is also significant. Since China began implementing unilateral visa-free policies at the end of 2023, “traveling in China” has rapidly become a trending topic on overseas social media, with countless travelers sharing their unique experiences in China. From majestic natural landscapes and splendid historical and cultural landmarks to the vibrancy of modern cities, China’s unique charm is attracting more and more international visitors. During the announcement of the visa-free policy for

To further strengthen China-Arab cultural ties and deepen film industry cooperation, the highly anticipated Chinese animated film Nezha: The Devil Boy in the Sea (shortened as Nezha 2) will officially premiere across major cinemas in the UAE starting July 17, 2025. The film is specially released in two language versions: The two versions will be released simultaneously to meet the diverse viewing needs of local UAE audiences, overseas Chinese communities, and expatriates from various countries living in the UAE. Ne Zha: The Devil Boy Roars in the Sea is another masterpiece of original Chinese animation, crafted by a top creative team. It continues the worldview and character development of Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child, while delivering a full upgrade in visual effects, storytelling, and cultural depth. Since its release in early 2025 in China, the film has achieved impressive box office results and wide acclaim. It has been hailed as “a youthful expression of Chinese culture” and “a contemporary interpretation of Chinese-style heroism.” Ne Zha 2 is jointly distributed in the Middle East by PBA Entertainment and Saudi Arabia’s CineWaves, with strong support from the Chinese Embassy in the UAE, the Consulate General in Dubai, the China Cultural Center in the UAE, the UAE Media Council, and numerous mainstream Chinese and Arab media outlets. The film will be simultaneously screened in major cinemas across several Emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. It marks a new chapter in the friendship between China and the Arab world and encourages more Emirati audiences to visit and explore China. The premiere of the film is scheduled to take place in Dubai on July 15. Representatives from the Chinese Embassy in the UAE, the Consulate General in Dubai, local cultural institutions in the UAE, Chinese-funded enterprises, mainstream media, and distinguished guests from various sectors will be invited to attend. The event will mark a significant moment as Chinese culture debuts on mainstream cinema screens in the Middle East. The China Cultural Center in the UAE will also host a “Hello, China” tourism promotion on-site. We sincerely invite our friends in the UAE, Chinese enterprises, overseas Chinese communities, and film enthusiasts to visit the cinemas and enjoy this Eastern hero story that blends tradition and modernity, experiencing the unique charm of Chinese animation.

From June 20 to 22, 2025, the Chinese Embassy in Bahrain and the China Cultural Center in the UAE jointly held a “Hello! China” pop-up tourism roadshow at City Center, one of the largest shopping malls in Manama, the capital of Bahrain. The opening ceremony was attended by Chinese Ambassador to Bahrain Ni Ruchi, Bahraini Minister of Tourism Fatima, President of the Bahrain-China Friendship Association Khawaja, and CEO of Gulf Air Jeffrey. Representatives from hotel groups and travel agencies in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Dubai, along with Gulf Air staff, introduced Chinese inbound travel packages, visa-free policies, payment and tax refund conveniences. They collected feedback and contact information, distributed brochures and souvenirs, while a large screen played “Hello! China” tourism videos in a continuous loop. Local Chinese culture enthusiasts showcased lion dances, traditional dances, tea ceremonies, and kung fu fan performances, attracting many visitors to the booth. Two lucky attendees even won round-trip “Journey to China” flight tickets sponsored by Gulf Air. Bahraini influencer Zahra said the visa-free policy China introduced for Bahrainis has thrilled the public, and many are eager to visit China. Today’s event came at the perfect time. Minister Fatima emphasized that China is an important source market for Bahrain, and the government values tourism cooperation with China. Many Bahrainis are enthusiastic about traveling to China, and today’s event is a key step in informing the public about destinations and new facilitation measures. This pop-up event marked the first time the China Cultural Center in the UAE entered Bahrain. It aimed to implement President Xi Jinping’s 2024 initiative to achieve 10 million China-Arab tourist visits in five years, and to align with the recent visa-free policy announcements for GCC countries at the China-ASEAN-GCC Summit, enhancing inbound tourism promotion across the Gulf. The event was covered by Bahrain TV and CGTN Arabic.

To further promote people-to-people exchanges between China and the world, China continues to expand its list of visa-exempt countries. On June 10, Shanghai Airport Immigration Inspection Station revealed that over 100 ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain entered China visa-free via Pudong International Airport on June 9 and 10. Immigration officers processing entry for visa-free foreign travelers From June 9, 2025 to June 8, 2026, China is implementing a trial visa exemption policy for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Eligible travelers can visit China for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges, or transit for up to 30 days without a visa. Just after midnight on June 9, Pudong International Airport welcomed the first batch of inbound travelers under the new policy. “The visa-free policy is very convenient and the entry process was smooth,” said Kuwaiti traveler Mr. Arya, who arrived on flight 9C8892 from Bangkok to Pudong. He and his brother were among the first to benefit from the new policy. “We learned about the policy online and decided to travel to Shanghai as a family. Our father will join us in a few days—we’re looking forward to this trip to China,” he said after clearing immigration. Another beneficiary of the policy was Mr. Adaris from Saudi Arabia, who is visiting China for the first time. He plans to visit an automation equipment company in Shanghai. “The visa-free policy saved me time. It will make future business visits much more convenient,” he said. “Currently, citizens from 47 countries are eligible for China’s unilateral visa-free policy. As this network expands, inbound travel enthusiasm remains high. Since the beginning of this year, over 1.1 million foreign travelers have entered China via Pudong Airport using the visa-free policy—accounting for half of all foreign entries,” said Jiang Yichen, Deputy Director of Border Inspection at the Shanghai Airport Immigration Station. As the benefits of the visa-free policy continue to unfold, the number of inbound foreign travelers is expected to rise. The Shanghai Airport Immigration Station will closely monitor flight patterns, enhance coordination with airlines and port authorities, and further optimize the border clearance process to ensure a warm and efficient experience—positioning Shanghai as the “No.1 Gateway for Inbound Tourism in China.”

According to Xinhua News Agency, starting from June 9, China has implemented a trial unilateral visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. This brings the number of countries eligible for China’s unilateral visa exemption to 47. Data from travel platforms shows that on the day the policy was announced, flight searches to China from GCC countries increased by 90%, with Saudi tourists showing the highest level of interest. According to Guangzhou-based inbound tourism agencies, visitors from Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries enjoy flying to Guangzhou to go shopping, buy local specialties, sample Chinese cuisine, and experience traditional Chinese medicine. Airline sources also revealed that Guangzhou, as a major transportation and commercial hub in China, is widely known in the Middle East. Many foreign guests choose to travel to Guangzhou for business and to enjoy the city’s unique lifestyle. Saudi Arabia Sees 235% Surge in Inbound Travel Orders in Q1; Guangzhou Tourism Products Now Available in the Middle East From June 9, 2025 to June 8, 2026, citizens of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain holding ordinary passports can enter China without a visa for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, cultural exchange, or transit, for stays of up to 30 days. With the addition of the UAE and Qatar—both of which have enjoyed full mutual visa exemption with China since 2018—China has now achieved complete visa-free coverage for all GCC countries. According to Trip.com data, flight searches to China from GCC countries surged by 90% on the day the policy was announced, with Saudi travelers showing the greatest interest. In the first quarter of this year, inbound tourism bookings on Trip.com doubled year-on-year, while bookings from Saudi Arabia rose by an impressive 235%. “The visa-free policy removes the ‘last mile’ barrier to travel,” said Qin Jing, Vice President of Trip.com Group. “As China continues to ease visa requirements, it will provide direct convenience for overseas visitors conducting business and also stimulate diverse consumption in tourism, culture, and other areas.” As the list of visa-free countries continues to grow, demand from Middle Eastern business and leisure travelers to Guangdong is also on the rise. In response to local preferences and cultural characteristics, GZL International Travel Service has developed targeted tourism products, accompanied by promotional videos and images of Guangdong for regional marketing. According to Xi Xinqiang, Deputy General Manager of the GZL inbound tourism department, local partners in the Middle East have already launched Guangdong travel products, with departures starting in early July. The offerings have attracted considerable attention, especially from Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. “Buy and Refund Instantly” Policy Rolled Out Swiftly – Foreign Tourists Love Shopping in Guangzhou Boosted by new policies, inbound tourism in Guangzhou has shown a “multiplier effect.” In the first quarter of 2025, Guangzhou received 1.187 million inbound overnight tourists, an 11.7% year-on-year increase. Among them, 498,000 were foreign visitors staying overnight, representing a 31.0% increase. Recently, the “buy and refund instantly” departure tax rebate policy has been rapidly implemented in Guangzhou. The layout of tax refund shops has been further optimized, product categories have been expanded, and foreign tourist spending in the city has been significantly stimulated. Industry professionals are optimistic about the “buy and refund instantly” policy. “Inbound tourism is on the rise, and more overseas travel service agencies are visiting the Greater Bay Area for familiarization trips,” said Mr. Peng, Head of Marketing at Guangdong CTS. He noted that foreign tourists enjoy shopping in Guangzhou, especially at various wholesale markets. He also suggested that local merchants should expand their product categories to include more intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and Cantonese cultural and creative products. Foreign Airlines Optimistic About Guangzhou, Plan to Increase Capacity Accordingly According to multiple online travel platforms, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain have all launched direct flights to Guangzhou. Among them, Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) operates six direct flights weekly between Guangzhou and Riyadh and Jeddah. The flight occupancy rate shows healthy seasonal fluctuations and remains stable overall. In addition, Saudia also operates four weekly flights connecting Beijing with Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, an economic hub in eastern Saudi Arabia, providing a convenient air bridge for the deepening economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries. “Following the announcement of China’s unilateral visa-free policy for Saudi ordinary passport holders, the market has already shown positive initial feedback. We are observing a clear trend of potential passenger growth. With continued publicity, this upward momentum is expected to be further consolidated and expanded,” said Ms. Liang, Sales Director of Saudia. She noted that this policy move will significantly inspire Middle Eastern travelers to explore Guangzhou—the “millennia-old trade city.” According to her, Saudi guests, in addition to their busy business agendas, show great interest in Guangzhou’s vibrant urban charm, including premium shopping experiences, authentic culinary culture, historic cultural sites, and traditional Chinese medicine wellness. To seize this market opportunity, Saudia is fully prepared and plans to increase flight frequency in the upcoming winter-spring season, especially during major trade events like the Canton Fair.
