中国对中东的石油外交

中东地区是世界上石油资源最丰富的地区，世界石油储量的65％以上集中在中东地区。随着中国经济的发展，中国对中东地区的石油依赖程度日益加深，进口石油有一半来自中东地区。为保障国民经济持续健康快速的发展，中国政府在中东地区积极开展石油外交，通过政治高层互访、经济合作与援助、军事贸易与往来，有效地保证中东石油源源不断地供应中国，并有效地保证中国能源安全。

China''''s Oil Diplomacy in the Middle East

The Middle East is known in the world for its abundant petroleum deposits. Oil and gas in this region take up 65 percent of the known world reserves. In recent years, in line with the remarkable economic progress, China's oil dependence on the Middle East has grown faster, amounting to 50% or more. To keep pace with the Chinese economic development, the Chinese government has launched a series of oil diplomatic activities such as high-level exchange visits, economic cooperation and aids, and military trade and exchanges. These measures ensure a continual supply of a large amount of oil from the Middle East.
