Tibet cooperatives played key role in ending poverty

Cooperatives played a vital role in eradicating poverty in the Tibet autonomous region by making farmwork less labor-intensive and at the same time raising the incomes of rural residents, an expert told a webinar on Tuesday.

Dralo, a researcher at the China Tibetology Research Center, praised Tibet's poverty reduction achievements in the past few decades. He was speaking at an online side event of the 46th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council International Webinar on Poverty Alleviation and Culture Preservation in Tibet, which was held at the center in Beijing.

Dralo said the introduction of different cooperatives in different parts of the region had contributed to grassroots social development.
