"As an important agenda for Poverty Alleviation Day this year, a high-level forum 5 on poverty alleviation and development will be held on Oct. 16, one day ahead of Poverty Alleviation Day. I'm very glad to announce here that President Xi Jinping will attend the forum and deliver a keynote speech. President Xi will elaborate on the poverty alleviation measures taken by the Chinese government in the course of building a moderately prosperous society and show China's determination in implementing 6 the Post-2015 Development Agenda," said Hong.

"China's poverty alleviation efforts have received great support from the international community, and have also contributed to the international community.

China has become the first developing country to halve 7 its poverty-stricken population, one of the United Nations Millennium 8 Development Goals, and has also helped other countries to achieve these goals," said. Guo.
