When President Xi Jinping met with the heads of foreign delegations invited to attend the 70th anniversary of the Chinese PLA navy, he put forward the important concept of " maritime community with a shared future ". President Xi pointed out that "the blue planet where we humans live is not divided into isolated islands by the ocean, but is connected into a community with shared destiny, and people of all countries stick together through thick and thin." This seminar is dedicated to sharing China's experience in maritime security capacity building, strengthening China-Tunisia maritime security and cooperation, and promoting the construction of a " maritime community with a shared future".
Chen Wei stressed that coping with the growing maritime security threats requires a global response. We should pay attention to the concept of " maritime community with a shared future", continuously strengthen real international cooperation in maritime security, promote the construction of " maritime community with a shared future", and strive to achieve sustainable development of the ocean. China and Tunisia have friendly relations, and China has continuously promoted mutually beneficial cooperation with Tunisia in various maritime fields, sharing ideas, technologies and experiences, and working together to safeguard the ocean and peace.
