In this photo released by Xinhua News Agency, Chinese President Xi Jinping takes his oath after he is unanimously elected as President during a session of China's National People's Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Friday, March 10, 2023. Chinese leader Xi Jinping was awarded a third five-year term as president on Friday, putting him on track to stay in power for life.

BEIJING, KOMPAS — Chinese leader, Xi Jinping (69), Friday (10/3/2023), was sworn in as president for the third term. After the eras of China's charismatic leaders, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, Xi is now seen as the most powerful leader in the country as well as a figure with strong influence at the global level.

One of the strengths of its global influence is reflected in China's success in reconciling two sworn enemies in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Right on the day of Xi's inauguration, Riyadh and Tehran released a joint communiqué containing an agreement, mediated by China, to restore diplomatic relations and reopen their respective embassies after seven years of hiatus.
