JINAN, November 5 (Xinhua) — Poverty reduction cooperation is currently becoming an important component of strategic cooperation between China and Central Asian countries. The second meeting of the China-Central Asia Political Party Dialogue was held on November 3 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, east China.
As part of this, a visiting meeting on the topic of “Concepts, Experiences, and Interaction of Political Parties in Poverty Reduction” was held in Dongmaiyao Village, Laoshan District, Qingdao City. Representatives of political parties and institutions from China and several Central Asian countries held an in-depth exchange of views on poverty reduction issues, demonstrating a shared will to intensify cooperation in this key area related to the well-being of the population.
Jiao Dian, Deputy Director of the China International Center for Poverty Reduction, noted that under the strategic guidance of the heads of state, cooperation between China and the Central Asian countries has borne abundant fruit. "Both China and the Central Asian countries prioritize poverty eradication in their governance, constantly supporting each other and moving shoulder to shoulder along the path to poverty reduction," Jiao Dian said.
After achieving a complete victory in the fight against poverty, China continued to consolidate its achievements by promoting comprehensive rural revitalization and ensuring policy continuity, operational continuity, and sustained efforts. This consistent national strategy has provided invaluable experience for the global effort to reduce poverty.
Deputy Chairman of Kazakhstan's Auyl Party, Kuanysh Seitzhanov, stated that the party's political program aims to transform Kazakhstan into an agricultural power whose agricultural potential would not only ensure national food security but also contribute to global efforts to reduce poverty.
He also noted that, as a strategic partner in the Belt and Road Initiative, Kazakhstan is actively developing its transport infrastructure, opening up new opportunities for the development of agriculture and the agro-industrial complex. Projects such as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and the China-Kazakhstan Logistics Cooperation Base in Lianyungang are creating jobs and increasing farmers' incomes.
While the development opportunities offered by infrastructure construction are undoubtedly important, the complexity of the poverty problem requires countries to take a multifaceted approach. Kadyr Malikov, Director of Kyrgyzstan's independent think tank "Religion, Law, and Politics," noted that China's achievements in poverty eradication are impressive and emphasized Kyrgyzstan's interest in strengthening cooperation with China in the cultural, political, and social spheres. He argued that such cooperation could benefit the people of Central Asia through innovative, scientific, and technological projects.
The effectiveness of cooperation in poverty reduction should ultimately translate into concrete projects and improved lives. Nazira Mukhtorova, Chair of the Committee on Labor, Health, and Social Affairs of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, reported that Uzbekistan, drawing on China's experience, has implemented a number of pilot projects to combat poverty. These include the creation of mushroom-growing cooperatives and small processing plants, the installation of solar power plants in hundreds of villages, assistance to low-income families in marketing agricultural products, and the development of cooperatives for growing medicinal plants.
According to her, this exchange of experience is a clear example of pragmatic cooperation between Uzbekistan and China.
In July of this year, the China-Central Asia Cooperation Center for Poverty Reduction was opened in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (northwest China), marking a new stage in exchanges and cooperation between China and Central Asian countries in this area. China and the Central Asian countries will achieve new results in poverty reduction, bring greater prosperity to the people of the region, and move together toward a better future.
