Beijing recently hosted a high-level seminar on innovative poverty alleviation, bringing together delegates from Belt and Road participating countries and key Chinese ministries. Co-organized by China’s Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the event underscored poverty eradication as central to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Over the course of two days, experts and policymakers exchanged ideas on scalable strategies—from rural development models to digital platforms—that can accelerate poverty reduction. Through interactive sessions and case studies, participants examined how targeted investments and community-led initiatives have yielded real-world impact.
Delegates unanimously praised the Chinese mainland’s contributions to lifting millions out of poverty, noting that its decades-long campaign offers valuable references for developing countries. By sharing successes and lessons learned, the seminar aimed to inspire customized approaches that align with local contexts.
As global challenges evolve, forums like this seminar foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across borders. For young changemakers and policymakers alike, the insights generated in Beijing could spark fresh innovations in the fight against poverty worldwide.
