Abstract
The “Belt and Road” initiative proposed by China got positive responses from the international community, and it has achieved preliminary development. Among China’s neighboring countries, India still holds a suspicious attitude toward the initiative. In spite of this, economic cooperation and coordination between China and India still has achieved important progress and development. After reviewing the progress in implementation of the initiative, this paper conducts an analysis on coordination of development between China and India; especially, this paper analyzes the necessity and possibility of coordination between China and India, and the practical bases, main contents, opportunities and challenges of the coordination.
