The international conference China in the Middle East: Geopolitics, Trade and Society examines China's growing role in the Middle East as a geostrategically relevant region. Actors from politics, diplomacy and academia will discuss the current challenges and opportunities for cooperation in relations between China and the Middle East.

The international conference will take a close look at the two security policy theaters of war of the 21st century - the war in Ukraine and in the Middle East - and systematically analyze the interdependencies between the two wars, the regional consequences and the impact on the global order, and explore possible paths to regional stability and peace.

This international conference is dedicated to strengthening the partnership between the European Union and Africa in climate action, biodiversity management, and green transformation. It focuses on closing policy, technology, and financing gaps and sharing best practices to advance shared environmental goals within the framework of the shared 2030 Vision and the global sustainability agenda.

This international conference builds on the success of the previous Berlin Conference and brings together stakeholders from the Middle East, Asia, and Europe to develop concrete strategies for regional cooperation in areas such as reconstruction, green energy, digitalization, and infrastructure. The focus is on regional solutions to conflicts, deeper integration through initiatives such as IMEC, and the promotion of a shared vision for peace, stability, and sustainable development.
