China and UN 2030 Agenda

China seeks to advance both its own development interests and the shared interests of all nations. In the 40 years since 1978, when reform and opening-up began, more than 700 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty. This accounts for over 70 percent of poverty reduction worldwide.

Meanwhile, China has provided over 400 billion yuan in foreign aid and sent more than 600,000 aid workers to nearly 170 countries and international organizations. This is a big contribution to the global fight against poverty and to the development of all countries.

China is ready to share with other countries its experience in targeted poverty alleviation and eradication. Under the framework of South-South cooperation, China will continue to do its best to help other developing countries implement the 2030 Agenda.
