Non-traditional security is a new area of Sino-Saudi cooperation. The situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan and terrorist attacks in Xinjiang forced China to dedicate more efforts to fighting terrorism, separatism, and extremism. Indeed, facing non-traditional security challenges has become a new core interest of China in the Gulf region, especially in Saudi Arabia, which is an influential country in the Islamic world and keeps close ties with Pakistan. Cooperation with Saudi Arabia to face non-traditional threats is of special significance to China.
