According to global experience, the most difficult phase in poverty eradication is when the population living in poverty accounts for less than 10 percent of the overall population.
"The task has become more difficult and costly as the process approaches its end," said Liu.
The report pointed out that 775,000 officials have been sent to impoverished areas for poverty relief work.
The central government's spending on the cause had increased from 39.4 billion yuan in 2013 to 86.1 billion yuan in 2017, the report noted.
China has also established a national database collecting information of impoverish people since 2017, said the report.
The database records the distribution of impoverished population, the reasons for poverty and the needs of impoverished people.
Liu said 2017 is an important year to achieve the target and promised to "work together to conquer the difficulties in this battle against poverty."
The five-day session lasts until Sept 1.
