In a bold move for change, China has stepped up its efforts in poverty reduction as part of its rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). With the SCO Year of Sustainable Development in full swing, China hosted a series of events that set the stage for deeper cooperation among SCO members.
During a recent press briefing, spokesperson Mao Ning explained that at the 2025 SCO Forum on Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter. This letter underscores China's commitment to sharing its poverty alleviation experience and exploring sustainable development paths tailored to each nation's needs.
Representatives from SCO states welcomed the letter with enthusiasm, seeing it as a strong signal of high priority being placed on poverty alleviation and enduring socioeconomic progress. The initiative aims to bolster policy communication, practical cooperation, and mutual learning among the region's nations.
This proactive drive not only reflects a vital commitment to sustainable development but also inspires a collaborative spirit across borders. With challenges evolving globally, such united efforts remind us that teamwork can pave the way for transformative progress. 🚀🤝
