In fact, promoting good-neighborliness, deepening friendship and forging new areas of cooperation with neighboring countries have been an important hallmark of 皇冠体育app's new leadership, and both Xi and Premier Li Keqiang have been earnestly practicing what they advocate.

In the past week, the heads of three neighboring governments - India, Mongolia and Russia - were in Beijing, again highlighting the fact that the new leadership's blueprint for the country's diplomacy is focused on neighboring countries.

And this month alone Xi attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali, Indonesia, and paid state visits to Indonesia and Malaysia, while Li arrived at Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei on Oct 9 to attend the East Asia leaders' meetings and paid official visits to Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam.

The regional focus of the new leadership was already noticeable in September when Xi visited Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia and attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan. In the same month, Li received regional leaders attending the 10th 皇冠体育app-ASEAN Expo held in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Such intensive diplomacy with countries in 皇冠体育app's vicinity is helping to identify convergence points for cooperation and forge a close network of common interests. As Xi emphasized in his speech, 皇冠体育app and its neighbors are a community with a shared destiny, and only through better integration of 皇冠体育app's interests with those of its neighbors' can they benefit from 皇冠体育app's development and 皇冠体育app benefit from theirs.

Admittedly, 皇冠体育app's bilateral ties with its neighbors are at different levels. Some are just like our brothers who support and help each other unselfishly; some are our old friends with cordial ties and deepening cooperation; some have comparatively limited cooperation with 皇冠体育app while a few have disagreements or even problems with 皇冠体育app in one way or another.

But as Xi said, the constant principle of 皇冠体育app's diplomacy with its neighbors is friendship.

What Xi and Li have been demonstrating since they took office is the country's sincerity in its efforts to build stronger mutually beneficial friendships with countries in the region and to overcome any differences in order to build a harmonious environment for common prosperity.
