进入21世纪以来,伴随着中国、印度等新兴国家的迅速发展,国际社会出现了“向东看”的现象。沙特阿拉伯“向东看”战略举措是根据其自身利益采取的现实主义选择,它的实施不仅有效推动了沙特阿拉伯与中国在能源、贸易、投资及建筑工程承包等双边经济关系的发展,而且对中国经济发展和“走出去”战略带来了一定的机遇。但是,这种“向东看”并不意味着沙特阿拉伯将战略重心转向了东方,而是体现了沙特阿拉伯通过加强与东方国家的关系来抗衡西方强权,实现其战略平衡,以确保其石油出口市场的稳定和经济多元化的发展。
<<As China and India has been developing rapidly in new century,“Looking East” has emerged as phenomena in the international society.The strategic measures of “Looking East” in Saudi Arabia for economic development have drawn attention of international society.These measures are effectively promoting the developments of China-Saudi bilateral relations in the fields of energy,trade,investment and contracted construction projects.They also brought opportunities for China’s economic development and its “going out” strategy.But,“Looking East” is not meant that the strategic focus of Saudi Arabia has turned to the East.In fact,it reflects that Saudi Arabia intents to strike strategic balance by strengthening the relations with the Eastern countries,to contend against the power of Western countries,and to ensure stability of its oil market and the diversified development of its economy.
