中东和平发展基金会,于2015年10月经中华人民共和国香港特别行政区政府批准注册,是中国民间成立的一家旨在推动中东和平发展的全球性组织,其战略发展目标为:汇集全球力量,整合国际资源,共同推进中东和平与发展。

当前,中东地区正面临令人担忧的严峻形势。国家分歧、教派纷争、民族矛盾彼此作用,战乱冲突、人道灾难、恐怖威胁相互交织。中东和平与安全形势呈现出更加复杂的发展态势,时刻提醒着我们实现中东地区的长治久安依然长路漫漫。在上述背景下,中东和平发展基金会的成立可谓应运而生、恰逢其时,为讨论构建中东和平与安全新秩序提供了重要平台,顺应求和平谋发展的时代潮流。

基金会为中东地区的和平与安全事业带来更多正能量。长期以来,如何实现中东孜孜以求的和平企盼,中国在思考,世界也在思考。当前,包括美国等国家主导的中东和平会议已经进行多年,中国也在积极开展工作。2013年5月,中国同期邀请巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯和以色列总理内塔尼亚胡访华,表明中国一直在积极推动中东和平进程。“众人拾柴火焰高”,在汇聚和平力量方面有积极作用的机制应多多益善。作为非政府组织的中东和平发展基金会,将围绕“和平、发展”这一主题展开热烈讨论,为中东和平与发展献计献策。在各方理念的交汇与碰撞中,综合安全、共同安全、合作安全的共识将会得到凝聚,维护安全的新思路、新理念、新建议将会不断涌现。

基金会由中国民间倡导成立,虽然为非政府组织,但也体现中国对中东和平发展的贡献和担当。古往今来,中国都是一个崇尚和平的国家,追求和平是中华民族融入血液的内在精神。作为安理会常任理事国和负责任大国,中国长期以来为促进中东地区和平安全和繁荣发展发挥着积极和建设性作用。中东和平发展基金会虽然为民间组织,但也体现了中国为中东和平发展作出更多贡献的承诺。随着中国的发展壮大,国际社会对中国的政策走向更加关注,希望更多听到来自中国的声音。基金会也将成为让国际社会深入了解中国和平理念的一个窗口,推动中国和世界各国在和平发展、共同安全的道路上携手前行。

会议展览、国际交流、课题研究、研讨培训、国际援助是基金会目前的主要工作项目。交流项目指通过举办国际论坛、研讨会和培训等多种形式,开展交流合作;同时也支持国际民间组织,参与中东问题研讨和交流。国际援助项目是为推进中东和平发展而开展教育、医疗、文化、家园重建等领域的公益活动。课题研究项目是通过与全球各国的中东专家学者合作,开展有关中东问题的专题研究。

基金会正在积极建立一支专业的国际工作团队;一支有实力的国际企业家团队;一支在国内外有影响力的专家学者团队,并与全球各国诸多学研机构及知名学者建立了良好的互动合作关系。

中东和平发展基金会是一个全新的战略性平台。尽管起步较晚,但开局良好、前景广阔。相信在联合国以及世界各国的共同关心和支持下,基金会将越办越好,为中东和平与发展这个古老命题的解答找到新的钥匙。
