According to Xing Guangcheng, Member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the entire Eurasian space needs to be integrated, but there are often fierce conflicts among the many previous schemes at present. Meanwhile, China's Belt and Road Initiative is an important way to achieve connectivity. The Belt and Road Initiative has caused widespread repercussions in the world, not only in Asia, Europe, and Africa but also in Latin America and Oceania. As a part of comprehensive connectivity, it has become a global solution, which is a vast space to solve some issues of connectivity, trade and investment facilitation globally.
Under this circumstance, China should work with other countries or regions in the world to create a new pattern of all-round interconnectivity and establish a new pattern of Eurasian interconnectivity with Eurasian countries. Besides, there is a possibility for China to achieve a new pattern of interconnectedness with neighboring countries. Furthermore, China's frontier region and the neighboring areas of neighboring countries should work together to promote a new pattern of connectivity. For example, the Northeast region should develop more regional cooperation with the Far-eastern area of Russia.

According to Araz Gurbanov the expert of Baku International Multiculturalism Center in Azerbaijan, Asia is a very fast-growing region while Azerbaijan has a unique geographical advantage as a transportation node connecting this region with Europe. He regarded that all-round interconnection must not only establish a bridge of physical interconnection, but also a bridge of communication in terms of ideas. This bridge builds the connection between civilization and culture in Asia and Europe.
