The midsummer of 2019 shows a booming scene.

“Poverty reduction” has become a buzzword worldwide when China is entering the crucial stage of winning the battle of fighting against poverty and embarking on a road of moderate prosperity.

At the Fourth Silk Road Exposition Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Poverty Reduction on May 12， attendees from Cambodia， Peru， Costa Rica， and other countries said sincerely that Belt and Road international poverty reduction has become a powerful force for all countries in seeking effective poverty reduction， mutual benefits and win-win results， and common development in the new era.

On May 31， the “Neighborhood Dialog--Co-developing the Belt and Road for Better Poverty Reduction Cooperation” was launched. Official delegations of ruling parties from Southeast Asia highly praised China for its concept of targeted poverty reduction and advanced， effective model， and hoped to strengthen cooperation with China in this effort， so as to deliver poverty reduction targets at an earlier date.

In the research report released by World Bank Group on June 18， it was noted that the full implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative will help 32 million people get rid of medium poverty of per capita living expenses per day less than USD 3.2， grow global trade by 6.2%， trade of economies along the route by 9.7%， and global income by 2.9%.

Though poverty is a global concern that hinders social development， China’s experience can serve as a role model for international poverty reduction efforts.

During the 40 years of reform and opening up， China has enabled over 700 million to shake off poverty， contributing to more than 70% of world poverty reduction and carving out a path of poverty alleviation with Chinese characteristics.

As the “friend circle” of the Belt and Road gets expanded， poverty reduction has become the common goal and pursuit of countries along the route in seeking sustainable development.

In terms of infrastructure， smooth and efficient international passages have been built： Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway， ChinaLaos Railway， China-Thailand Railway， and Hungary-Serbia Railway have greatly empowered economic development in poor regions.

When it comes to people-to-people bond， people-to-people exchange， and financial cooperation， the Initiative has become a“driver” for common development of countries along the route. China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation alone has raised and invested as much as RMB 23 million in international poverty reduction programs， which is used in poverty alleviation through education and health， benefiting 450，000 people in over 20 countries and regions along the route.

As the tangible benefits show， the Initiative has contributed to international poverty reduction and people’s livelihood， and is bound to serve as a road to prosperity for peoples along the route.
