Anti-poverty efforts earn envoys' praise

Diplomats from around globe visit rural areas, say results speak for themselves

Moldovan Ambassador to China Dumitru Braghis has been watching China's development since he visited the country for the first time in the 1990s. He said China's tremendous efforts in poverty eradication have most impressed him among the economic miracles it has created.

Braghis visited Ningde, a city known for its pioneering efforts in poverty alleviation in Fujian province, on Wednesday. He was among some 30 diplomatic envoys on a field trip organized by the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

Braghis called it encouraging that China expects to eradicate poverty by year's end, and the Chinese people and all of mankind should be proud of the achievements.
