The CPC is willing to unreservedly share the experience and practices of poverty relief with political parties from countries all over the world, including those from Latin American countries, strengthen multilateral cooperation, maintain peace and stability, work together to build a better world away from poverty and with shared prosperity, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Sun Zhigang, Secretary of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee expressed in his speech that Guizhou is the main battlefield in China’s poverty alleviation. Sticking to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Guizhou has thoroughly implemented the spirit in the important instructions General Secretary Xi Jinping made on Guizhou’s work, upheld the position of poverty alleviation in the overall situation of economic and social development, concentrated on the improvement of rural infrastructure with roads as its focus, implemented China’s largest relocation for poverty alleviation, strengthened security for education, medical care, housing and drinking water, and taken the development of industries as a fundamental and long-term solution to get rid of poverty. Since this year, Guizhou has coordinated efforts in epidemic prevention and control and poverty alleviation to ensure the high-quality success of the battle against poverty. Guizhou has changed from the province with the most poverty population to one that lifted the largest number of people out of poverty in China. The people of Guizhou are about to bid farewell to absolute poverty, which has lasted for thousands of years in the province. This is a change unseen in a thousand years in Guizhou, which owes to the socialist system with Chinese characteristics led by the CPC.
