Latin American politicians praise China's efforts to defeat poverty

Political party leaders from Latin American countries said China's successful anti-poverty experience would have great significance to developing countries.

In an online meeting held on Tuesday in Guiyang, Guizhou province, more than 200 party leaders from 16 Latin American countries and about 20 diplomatic envoys from such countries in China discussed the nation's efforts to eradicate poverty.

"China will end domestic poverty by the end of this year, which makes the nation a front-runner in reaching the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals," said Song Tao, head of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. "We would like to share our experiences with other countries around the world."
