Today the topic of my speech at this August forum is …comparison and enlightenment of poverty alleviation and reduction between China and abroad. Indeed, this is a hard topic worldwide, as each nation is confronted with the task of providing a better life to the people. In this connection, China’s achievements are marvelous. Over the years, it has come out as a model in Poverty-reduction campaign. In my country, we are also facing challenge of poverty and hunger, and I am glad to inform you that our Prime Minister Imran Khan soon after coming into power, a year ago, cited Chinese model, while making his pledge to the nation for building a healthy and prosperous society. Since the Day one, he is trying to enforce China’s model in Pakistan in his efforts to bring down the rate of poverty. The Media in Pakistan was trying to enlighten the government and the society about the negative impact of poverty on the development of overall socio-economic development. Even my colleagues, in my news agency, the Independent News Pakistan used to write articles and news on importance of poverty alleviation in the development pursuits.As far as I can tell, social injustice, inequality and economic exploitation are the root-causes of the poverty.As a nation, We have to curb these evils by all possible means, to achieve the desired goals. I am glad to note that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It seems China is in the year of diverse activities, but poverty eradication is clearly the top priority as the 2020 deadline of alleviating poverty is approaching. Notably, poverty eradication goals, among other rural development aims, are solemn promises made by the Chinese leadership to Chinese people, especially rural people. I must say that consistent with China’s meteoric economic transformation, China has made remarkable headway in alleviating poverty over the past four decades. That is remarkable that China is marching toward eradicating poverty very successfully, and the Chinese leadership promises to completely eradicate absolute poverty by 2020. So, if we compare the China’s achievements in the poverty’s reduction sector with the rest of the Word, I must say China is Number One…since it is doing in a shortest span of time…improving the living-condition of their people. So I must congratulate Chinese nation, and its leadership for their leading role in the socio-economic development of their people.At the end of my speech, I wish our great friend China, always stay high on the path of peace and progress, not only for its people but the entire world as a whole.Thank you, very much for giving me a patient hearing.
