"Jointly exploring new paths for poverty alleviation cooperation"
Poverty eradication is the overarching goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty and created a Chinese model for poverty alleviation. The High-level Forum on Poverty Reduction and Development, which has been held for 12 sessions since its inception, has become a mechanism exchange platform with important international influence in the field of poverty reduction and development, helping Chinese and foreign sectors to exchange experiences and promote cooperation. The forum was hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, organized by the China International Poverty Reduction Center, and supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). At the forum, the participants shared the progress made by different countries in the field of poverty reduction, analyzed the difficulties and challenges they faced, and broadened their ideas for discussing future cooperation.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in his congratulatory letter that the forum underscored the importance of working together to tackle global poverty. He called on countries to put people in place institutions and systems, fully implement the Compact for the Future, and unite to make poverty a thing of the past.
Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Sohail Khan said that the forum provided a platform for all parties to learn about each other's experience in poverty eradication and helped to promote international cooperation in poverty reduction. He said that China's achievements in poverty reduction have attracted worldwide attention, and China's experience in poverty reduction will be of great benefit to the SCO countries in improving the efficiency of poverty reduction.

"China's poverty alleviation practice provides us with valuable experience"
China has implemented the strategy of comprehensive rural revitalization, continued to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation, firmly maintained the bottom line of no large-scale return to poverty, and solidly promoted the construction of livable, workable and beautiful villages, and continuously improved the people's sense of well-being. China's achievements in poverty alleviation and comprehensive rural revitalization have become hot topics of discussion among all participants.
"China's poverty alleviation practice has provided us with valuable experience." Siddharth Chatterjee, Resident Coordinator of the United Nations Development System in China, said that China has achieved a great victory in poverty reduction, using 9% of the world's arable land to feed nearly 20% of the world's population.
Sogun said that China has won the largest battle against poverty in human history, and "China's experience in poverty reduction continues to inspire other developing countries and provide valuable lessons for Cambodia." He said that in recent years, Cambodia and China have carried out a series of cooperation in the field of poverty reduction. For example, the Cambodia-China Friendship Poverty Alleviation Demonstration Village Project, launched in January 2021, combines China's poverty alleviation experience with the actual situation in Cambodia, bringing many development changes to local villages.

Francis Murba said that by promoting the cultivation of hybrid rice in China, Liberia's grain production has increased significantly. "Chinese experts are also helping Liberian farmers master more advanced agricultural production techniques."
"Looking forward to deepening cooperation with China in the field of poverty reduction"
China has actively fulfilled its responsibilities as a major country and contributed to the global poverty reduction process through the implementation of South-South cooperation projects, agricultural aid projects, and poverty alleviation demonstration cooperation projects.
From 2017 to 2020, the demonstration cooperation project on poverty alleviation in East Asia implemented by China and Laos in Vientiane City and Luang Prabang Province of Laos has achieved good results, bringing tangible benefits to the local people. For example, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry of Laos, Lamkang Tuan Chawan, said that the opening of the Laos-China railway has enhanced the development potential of Laos, accelerated the pace of Laos' development, and stimulated regional economic growth. "I believe that through our joint efforts, Laos and China will be able to achieve more results in rural development and poverty alleviation."

Poverty alleviation initiatives such as the project have not only improved the economic and social conditions in Myanmar's rural areas, but also promoted the process of urban-rural integration and increased the accessibility of financial services in rural areas. Myanmar is building on the success of the project to build smart villages in other regions, combining technological innovation and sustainable development practices to improve rural productivity and well-being.
