China is making significant strides in global poverty reduction and modernization efforts. John Kimani, an expert from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, is enthusiastic about the potential of a new type of rice developed by China to enhance food security and combat poverty in Kenya.
Kimani, who oversees the rice fields, highlighted that the new rice variety can yield up to 7.5 tonnes per hectare, more than doubling the output of traditional Kenyan varieties. This rice is expected to gain approval in Kenya this year, offering renewed hope for achieving food self-sufficiency in a country where over 80 percent of rice is currently imported.
China has been a reliable partner to African nations, assisting in poverty reduction and fostering cooperative exchanges that bring tangible benefits to local communities. Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized China's commitment to global development during his speech at the first session of the 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
\"A single flower does not make spring. China wants to see a hundred flowers in full blossom and will go hand in hand with fellow developing countries toward modernization,\" Xi stated, underscoring China's role as a steadfast partner in the global effort to reduce poverty and promote sustainable development.
