中东国家“向东看”是在国际格局发生重大变化的背景下出现的。中东国家“向东看”是多种因素促成的:美国的中东政策直接损害了中东国家的利益;美国国际影响力的下降与发展中国家整体实力的上升,特别是包括中国在内新兴国家的崛起对中东国家产生了强大的吸引力。因此,中东国家的“向东看”不是权宜之计,它是基于中东各国面临诸多挑战、迫切需要探寻合适的发展道路的一种选择,也是中东国家外交取向的多元化反应。中东国家“向东看”倾向日益鲜明,这为中国加强与中东国家关系带来了新的机遇。
<<It is under the dramatically changing world pattern that Middle Eastern countries take a “Looking East” policy,which can be attributed to several factors as direct damages caused by America’s Middle East policy to the interests of Middle Eastern countries,the falling of America’s international influences and the rising of the developing countries as a whole,especially the great attractiveness of emerging countries inclusive of China to Middle Eastern countries.Therefore,Looking East in Middle Eastern countries is not a makeshift,but a choice made by these countries earnestly seeking suitable development roads to meet various challenges,a response to the diversification of their foreign policy orientation as well.The increasingly obvious trend of Looking East in Middle East also brings new opportunities for China to strengthen its ties with Middle Eastern countries.
