WUHAN (China Daily/ANN): The novel coronavirus pandemic could help China and neighbouring countries step up nontraditional security cooperation for a stronger community with a shared future as President Xi Jinping has been committed to promoting neighbourhood diplomacy based on the principles of friendship, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, experts said.

Since the start of the outbreak, which has involved more than 2.3 million confirmed infections and 160,000 deaths worldwide, China has been working with its neighbours to overcome the unprecedented common threat caused by Covid-19 through bilateral or multilateral mechanisms, and make joint efforts to offset the impact of the epidemic on their economic development.
