On 18th to 19th November，2016，the National Institute for Global Strategy（NIGS），Chinese Academy of Social Sciences（CASS）and University of International Relations，organized the International Think Tank Forum on “Building the Community of Common Destiny between China and Its Neighbors：Challenges and the Future” in Beijing. About 30 experts and scholars from 20 neighboring countries and 30 expert delegates from China gathered to discuss the theories and practices with regards to promoting the Community of Common Destiny（CCD）between China and its neighbors.The participating experts generally agreed that the CCD was a new paradigm for promoting regional socio-economic development，and for shaping international cooperation and international order from an entirely novel perspective. Despite that countries and regions are having varied socio-economic development difficulties and challenges，and that their understanding of the concept of the CCD differs，the notion for common development and common security is widely shared and generally advocated by all participating scholars.
