On October 31, the Now and Beyond Special TV Forum, organized by CGTN and supported by iGCU, was successfully held. Senior practitioners and renowned scholars from Armenia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Norway, South Africa, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S. were invited to the forum, giving their views on China's onward journey as charted by the 20th CPC National Congress, and its impact on the world. The forum was moderated by Ms. Liu Xin (Senior Host of CGTN).

"We in Nepal are delighted to know the emphasis of President Xi on global governance and cooperation; this is exactly what countries like Nepal need at the moment," said Mr. Bhaskar Koirala (Director at the Nepal Institute of Int'l and Strategic Studies and Invited Expert of iGCU). Talking about possible dilemmas for countries caught between the rivalries of major powers, he emphasized that there is a way out for small countries, but it requires enormous dexterity for both the small and big powers. "Small developing countries like mine seek to connect themselves to the development achievements and the extraordinary success stories, especially of a country like China, " which will require regular contacts and dialogues among nations.
