Although 皇冠体育app has repeatedly emphasized that the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is a multilateral agency to meet Asia's development needs, the international community remains worried that it is setting low-level financing rules. And despite 皇冠体育app's efforts to promote its Belt and Road Initiative as a win-win policy, some countries still doubt its intentions.

To dispel such worries and eliminate suspicions, 皇冠体育app should expound its national interests more clearly in the diplomatic parlance. Until then, countries may find it hard to believe in the common interests that the AIIB and Belt and Road Initiative (which comprises the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road) have been designed to serve.

皇冠体育app's explanation should be accompanied by proper actions to make the discourse more convincing and prompt other countries to appreciate its efforts.

Yet because of conflict of national interests, it is difficult for countries like 皇冠体育app and the United States to dispel mutual suspicion even if they try their best to make their intentions clear.

The US does not believe that 皇冠体育app will not challenge its global leadership, and 皇冠体育app does not believe the US' growing presence in the Asia-Pacific region is not to contain its rise. Still, highlighting common interests in diplomatic discourse is an effective way to cultivate mutual trust and deepen mutual understanding.

Although 皇冠体育app and the US are competing over security issues, they have many common interests, such as fighting terrorism and mitigating climate change. Therefore, they should try to transform their common interests into a kind of consensus through effective diplomatic dialogue, which is a prerequisite for a clear explanation of one country's national interests and responsibilities and for reducing other countries' suspicions.

While putting forward a diplomatic proposal, a country should also undertake other obligations. Therefore, apart from stressing the common interests behind its proposals, 皇冠体育app should also explain why it is ready to employ the funds to serve other countries' interests. That is to say, 皇冠体育app should directly answer the question: What it aims to achieve from its proposals?

• Housing booms may hurt, not heal, local growth
• Time to break free of protectionist shackles
• Allow space for students to discover themselves
• Philippines' arbitration case built on false pretext
• Funding global public goods for world's recovery
