Unprecedented opportunities and challenges have appeared simultaneously in front of Asia in the world. On the one hand, Asia has been relatively quiet and stable as a whole over the past few decades. Here the potential for collaboration and development emerged rapidly. Asia has become an important engine for revitalizing the world economy and driving economic growth.

On the other hand, the world political and economic order has entered a period of turbulent transition. The US President Donald Trump's government has imposed high tariffs on the world, especially on China and China's neighboring countries.

Customs duty has become a common risk for China and China's neighboring countries. Now the geopolitical situation of the world is tense. Individualism, self-preservation and dominance are rampant. Energy, grain, supply system, climate change etc., the impact on Asia is increasing day by day. 

In the new environment, how will China and China's neighboring countries jointly face the challenges of the era? This has become a very important practical question. 

The Chinese people understood long ago that a close neighbor is more trustworthy than a distant relative. China's territory is vast. The borderline is long. Creating a good environment in the neighborhood around the country is not only important for border security and prosperity, but also for regional stability.

The development of any country requires friendly relations with neighboring countries. Asian countries can promote common development only if they treat their neighbors well, cooperate with them and increase connectivity. 

The work meeting related to neighboring countries held in Beijing on April 8 and 9, 2025 has guided China's diplomacy with neighboring countries. This very important meeting made it clear that neighboring countries are always a priority of Chinese diplomacy. China always strives to build a community of shared destiny with neighboring countries.

wants to instill hope by providing stability to the world. Development is something that everyone sees, everyone believes and no one can deny. China's development has also benefited neighboring countries. In particular, by making the high-quality construction of BRI a major platform, China has provided facilities for industry, commerce and people's movement by building stronger 'connectivity' with neighboring countries and regions.

Globally, China and China's neighboring countries have become the center of world industrial capital and production. A high capacity production and supply system has been established here. Development has become a common goal of every country. 

China's relations with neighboring countries are now at their best since the dawn of modern times. The relationship between China's relations with neighboring countries and the changing world has also reached an important stage. As an Asian country and a responsible big country, China wants to closely link its development with the development of neighboring countries.

wants to provide Chinese wisdom and models for the collective construction of a shared destiny with neighboring countries. At the broad strategic level, China will hold high the banner of the common destiny of mankind. China considers the creation of a home and courtyard with these five characteristics: peaceful, orderly, prosperous, beautiful and friendly as a common goal.

wants to make BRI's main forum for high-quality joint construction based on Asian values ​​of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness to provide opportunities for neighbors to become rich by establishing friendly, peaceful, intimate relations with neighbors and taking the concept of common destiny as a guideline.

also wants to work hand in hand with neighboring countries to build a beautiful future by making the Asian security model operated by dialogue and consultation as a strategic basis for peace and security.

At the practical level, China wants to strengthen the mutual strategic world with neighboring countries and support them to advance steadily on their own development path, unify development, build high-level connectivity, clean up the production and supply system, jointly maintain regional stability, cooperate in security and law enforcement, and face various types of risks and challenges. Besides, China also wants to facilitate the movement of people by expanding exchanges and traffic with neighboring countries. 

The overall construction of the common future of the human race must first start from Asia. Periodic meetings and exchanges play an important role in making neighboring countries happy and prosperous together. From this point of view, China-Nepal relationship can be considered as a model relationship. China and Nepal are good neighbors, friends and colleagues connected by mountains and rivers. The two countries have always sincerely respected and supported each other. Our bilateral relations have always developed in a healthy and stable manner. 

In the unstable international situation created due to the change of the century, China and Nepal have to bear the historical responsibility of developing Asia. China and the neighboring countries should work together to build a common destiny. The successful experience of building a three-dimensional connectivity network around the mountains should be carried forward.

The victory of one side is not the defeat of the other side, but the victory of both sides, the tendency to leave the group, break the system, and not the tendency to break the system, should be propagated the correct concept of openness and cooperation. Asia's high-quality development should be promoted through high-level cooperation and a new chapter should be added to it by strengthening the relationship of 'one village' with neighboring countries.
