BEIJING, May 29 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice Premier Liu Guozhong on Thursday called for relentlessly consolidating and expanding China’s achievements in poverty alleviation and ensuring a smooth transition to providing aid to rural areas on a regular basis.
During the thematic meeting, Liu Guozhong, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, noted that continuous efforts must be made to prevent a large-scale return to poverty or its re-emergence.
Having announced that absolute poverty will be eradicated in 2021, China has set a five-year transition period to consolidate and build on the achievements of poverty alleviation and integrate these achievements into the process of rural revitalization.
Recalling that this year is the final year of this transition period, Liu Guozhong called for measures to optimize the monitoring and assistance system, ensure stable employment for people who have been lifted out of poverty, improve the quality and efficiency of supporting industries, and improve the mechanisms for long-term asset management of assistance projects.
The Vice Premier stressed the need to deepen cooperation between the eastern and western regions of the country and targeted assistance, calling for active work to provide regular assistance to low-income rural residents and underdeveloped areas in the post-transition period.
During the meeting, eight provincial-level regions in eastern China signed aid agreements for 2025 with 10 provincial-level regions in the west. –0–
