Abstract

Abstract: The theorists of political studies and international relations believe that countries that are close to each other often have areas of overlapping political relations, and as a result, their foreign policy is strongly influenced by their neighbors. China considers the connection and normalization of relations between the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and the Zionist regime as a contradiction in its foreign policy and international interests. The current research is of applied type and descriptive-analytical method, with the aim of influencing the peace plan of Ibrahim on the relationship of China's international interests on the Persian Gulf region and West Asia as the most strategic region in the Islamic world. The question is, what effect has the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel had on China's international interests in the Persian Gulf? It seems that the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel due to the closeness of this regime to the United States will face major challenges to China's interests in the Persian Gulf. The findings of the research show that, for the implementation of the cooperative security model in the Persian Gulf, preliminary solutions can include the following: regular periodic security talks at high and medium levels, building trust through agreements in the field of notifying military exercises, exchange of observers, exchange information and finally reaching agreements in the field of preventing accidents at sea and along the common borders, navigation in waterways and air, ensuring the security of shipping in the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz and active cooperation in preserving the environment of the region.
