The "Golden Model of Interregional Cooperation" doesn't refer to a specific, globally - recognized fixed model. However, some recent cooperation models have received extensive attention and are considered to have great potential and exemplary significance, such as the ASEAN - GCC - China cooperation model. Here is an introduction to it:Basic Composition: This model involves three important economic centers in the global south, namely the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and China.Unique Advantages: Each side has its own unique strengths. ASEAN countries are full of economic vitality and development potential. The GCC is rich in energy resources and investment capital. China, as the world's second - largest economy, has a huge consumer market and a complete industrial system, which can provide a large number of new cooperation opportunities.Cooperation Fields: There has been steady growth in trade, people - to - people and cultural exchanges, energy cooperation, connectivity projects, finance and investment, innovation, and green development among the three sides. For example, China and the 10 ASEAN countries have fully completed the negotiations on the Version 3.0 China - ASEAN Free Trade Area. In 2024, the trade between China and GCC countries exceeded $288 billion, and cooperation in investment, energy, and green transformation is also on the rise.Significance and Influence: This model is of great significance in promoting the unity and common development of global south countries. It can coordinate better on regional and international affairs, and jointly deal with the challenges brought about by the current complex international situation. With the continuous improvement of the cooperation model, it is expected to drive the global economy forward and create more solidarity and common prosperity for global south countries.In the Chinese context, there are also many typical regional cooperation models, such as the cooperation model of the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei coordinated development, the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yangtze River Delta integration development, the Chengdu - Chongqing Twin - City Economic Circle, and the ecological protection and high - quality development of the Yellow River Basin. These models have their own characteristics and advantages, and have played an important role in promoting China's regional coordinated development.
