Therefore, it is crucial to promote constructive cooperation between India and China in the area of sustainable development. At a time when the world landscape is evolving at an accelerated pace and global challenges are becoming more serious and complex, China and India should continue to work together to promote world peace, stability and economic prosperity.
Cooperation on sustainable development can help promote economic ties and trade between the two countries. Through cooperation on sustainable development, the two countries can cooperate more closely in the fields of energy, resources and agriculture, so as to achieve complementarity of advantages and promote economic development. In-depth exchanges and collaboration on topics such as environmental protection and climate change can be carried out to avoid conflicts or tensions arising from differences and disputes. China and India will have more exchanges and interactions in the fields of culture, education and tourism to enhance mutual understanding and friendship. This will help deepen mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of the two countries and promote harmonious coexistence among all ethnic groups. By continuously deepening co-operation, China and India can provide important support and leadership for the future development of Asia and the world. Such cooperation is not only necessary for the two countries' own development, but also a positive contribution to global governance. Therefore, China and India should further strengthen their co-operation to jointly address global challenges and work towards creating a better world.
Sustainable development is the golden key to unlock a new round of shared globalization. Cooperation between China and India in the field of sustainable development is conducive to promoting the two countries to move from "burden sharing" to "opportunity sharing", and from "zero-sum game" to "mutual benefit and win-win". It is also conducive to moving from "zero-sum game" to "mutual benefit and win-win situation", which will improve the relationship between the two countries and at the same time contribute to the global realization of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
