China, reliable, devoted partner for poverty reduction in Africa

  • 8 years ago
Africa, faced with urgent challenges to reduce and eradicate poverty, has a reliable and devoted partner from the East called China, which is also the world's largest developing country.
During his state visits to Zimbabwe and South Africa, and his attendance at the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Johannesburg from Thursday to Saturday, Chinese President Xi Jinping will announce new measures to promote cooperation with Africa, with a focus on improving Africans' livelihood, poverty reduction and investment in the continent.
While big advances in the fight against extreme poverty have been made in East Asia, the Pacific and South Asia, almost half of the population in sub-Saharan Africa still lives in extreme poverty, with less than 1.25 U.S. dollars a day, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report in October.
