Moreover, as Xi pointed out in his speech, inclusiveness and mutual learning among Asian civilizations are equally important to promote peace and stability in the region.
Asia is the most populous and diverse region in the world, and splendid ancient civilizations and great modern countries have risen from this wondrous land.
But without inclusiveness and tolerance, the Asian countries, which stand out for their vast diversity of cultures, religions and ethnics, can never be brought together, let alone building a community of common destiny.
Xi believed that China's Belt and Road Initiative is the country's contribution in bolstering exchange and dialogue among civilizations and development models.
Presently, more than 60 countries in relevant regions have shown their interest in joining the initiative. And 40 countries, including many developed ones, have agreed to join China in establishing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
In addition, win-win cooperation and common development are also crucial to building a community of common destiny in Asia.
History has repeatedly shown that no country would benefit from a zero-sum game. And only through win-win cooperation can substantial and sustainable achievements beneficial to all be eventually made possible.
"If you want to go fast, walk alone; and if you want to go far, walk together," the Chinese president quoted an African proverb as saying in his keynote speech.
