On the same day, the 2026 High-Level Forum on Poverty Reduction and Development 
was held in Beijing, during which the Global Alliance for Poverty Reduction and 
Development was jointly initiated by China, 53 other countries, and nine international
organizations. The initiative seeks to share governance experience in poverty alleviation,
promote practical cooperation, and strengthen global coordination in poverty reduction
and development.

"The Chinese government actively assumes its responsibilities as a major country
and contributes to the global fight against poverty through South-South agricultural
cooperation projects, foreign agricultural assistance, and demonstration initiatives
for poverty alleviation."

Martha Viviana Carvajalino Villegas
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
of Colombia

"We are learning from China’s comprehensive rural revitalization. China has not 
only lifted 800 million people out of poverty but has also achieved remarkable rural
development and enhanced recognition of those who work the land—goals that Colombia
has long been striving to advance. Increasing the presence of Colombian food products
in China will help strengthen our agricultural production. What we are doing here
demonstrates that South-South cooperation, as well as engagement through alternative
multilateral frameworks, is both meaningful and necessary."

Telce Abdel González
Vice Minister of Agriculture of Cuba

"Several memorandums of understanding have been signed over the years between the
Ministry of Agriculture of Cuba and China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs,
focusing, for example, on human resource development. There is currently a major
technical assistance project between China and Cuba covering crops such as rice 
and maize, as well as egg production, pork production, and potatoes. The results
so far have been very positive, and we believe these efforts will serve as a strong
model for bilateral cooperation and enable us to achieve even greater progress in
the near future."
