The Chinese deputy ambassador stated that Iraq occupies the third place in supplying oil to China. When asked about the Iraqi-Chinese agreement, he said; "I know no more about the Convention than the gentlemen in the audience know". The seminar dealt with many other topics that were discussed with the professors:

1- Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi, a teacher from the University of Basra.

2- Dr. Niu Xinchun, Director of Studies at the Chinese Institute of Contemporary International Relations CICIR.

3-Dr.Tang Tianbo, Head of the Iraq Program at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations CICIR.

The details of Iraqi-Chinese relations were discussed in light of the political situation, economic crises and the Silk Road strategy, as the Chinese side considers Iraq the main station for this strategic road because of its strategic location, especially if the port of Al-Faw and its land roads are implemented. The interlocutors ruled out that Iraq would be an international conflict between China and the United States, but went further, as they considered their presence within the framework of understandings between the two sides, which necessitates Iraq to invest this economic presence of the major powers in its favor.

The seminar, which was moderated by Dr. Ahmed Al-Mammouri, Head of Research and Development Department at RCD, also touched upon China’s support to Iraq regarding the Corona pandemic (Covid-19) by sending vaccines, medical staff, health equipment and medical laboratories for the virus, as well as other supplies. As for human energy, there is an advantage of the Chinese companies in that they rely on Iraqi national cadres to work there, unlike other foreign companies.

It is worth noting that RCD had earlier signed a memorandum of understanding with the Chinese Institute of Contemporary International Relations CICIR for joint cooperation in the cultural, intellectual and research fields and the organization of dialogues.
