Not only Mongolia, but also the whole world should learn from China’s experience in poverty alleviation, Mongolian Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg has said.
Poverty alleviation is a global challenge and a key target of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Battsetseg told Xinhua in a recent interview.
China has lifted 770 million people out of poverty since the beginning of the reform and opening-up over 40 years ago and declared its victory in eradicating extreme poverty in the country, Battsetseg said, noting that it is believed that the achievement is the result of China’s long-term, consistent and rational policies.
“I believe that not only our country, but also the whole world should study China’s experience in poverty alleviation and take measures tailored to their specifics,” said Battsetseg.
Mongolia has attached great importance to fighting poverty, increasing the income of its citizens and improving the quality of their lives, she said.
In addition, the country plans to undertake educational reforms, support small and medium-sized businesses, implement internship programs for youths, reform the social welfare system and build public rental housing, she said.
