00:00China launched a global initiative to strengthen international cooperation in the fight against poverty,
00:05bringing together dozens of countries from across the global south.
00:09Our correspondent, Bruno Fasci, was present and brings us the following report to the sea.
00:16Near the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing is the International Convention Center,
00:21where 53 countries and 9 international organizations launched the Global Partnership for Poverty Reduction
00:29and Development, a Chinese government initiative to strengthen international cooperation in the fight against poverty.
00:38Oxford University researcher Sabina Aukiri was present and explained its importance.
00:46The example of China and the example of multidimensional poverty that we work on in many countries shows that change
00:52is possible.
00:52And so it creates a positive narrative that with an investment of political leadership, financial resources, coordination and very clear
01:03results-based management, you can eradicate poverty.
01:07The countries of the global south present question the growth of the arms policies of major powers in the north,
01:15including the genocide against the Palestinian people and the blockade against Cuba, led by the United States.
01:23We spoke with the island deputy minister of agriculture, who explained the damage caused to the Cuban people by Washington's
01:33collective punishment.
01:38How can you farm without diesel, how can you farm without access to fertilizers, without access to pesticides, the basic
01:46inputs, right?
01:47They are essential because the blockade, the executive orders and all the measures that the Trump administration has recently taken
01:54against Cuba
01:55seriously affect us, preventing our agriculture from connecting with global value chains and international financial mechanisms
02:05and preventing us from accessing to foreign currency need to restock.
02:10So the conditions are extremely challenging, but they are challenging conditions in which Cuban producers are constantly striving to improve
02:18and find solutions.
02:22Besides Cuba, other countries with progressive governments in Latin America were also present, such as Brazil.
02:30Their representative explained that the Lula administration's priority is to end poverty and that, through public policies, the country has
02:41managed to eradicate hunger.
02:43The main policies income transfer, primarily through Bolsa Familia, which are undoubtedly one of the most important programs in the
02:53world.
02:53The BPC, which is the continuous benefit for the elderly and disabled people without income, and also the policies of
03:02the states and municipalities.
03:04Therefore, it is a set of policies that are underway and that have readily satisfactory results for the Brazilian population.
03:12Over the past few decades, the Chinese Communist Party has lifted more than 800 million people out of poverty through
03:22its socialist, economic and political model.
03:26With this initiative, it seeks to extend a helping hand to the Global South.
