国内英语资讯:Xi Focus: Xi stresses overcoming COVID-19 impact to win fight against poverty

Xi said that China will give priority to supporting the poverty-stricken workforce in employment, and implement a pairing-up support mechanism between the west and east regions to help impoverished workers get back to work in an orderly manner.

NEW OUTSET

Stressing multiple measures to consolidate achievements, Xi called for further efforts to reduce poverty via boosting employment and industrial development, providing medium- and long-term support for planting and breeding industries as well as microcredits for the poor.

Xi said the country should keep poverty alleviation policies stable, put into place a mechanism to effectively prevent people from falling back to poverty and provide targeted assistance to the needy in advance.

"Being lifted out of poverty is not an end in itself but the starting point of a new life and a new pursuit," Xi said, stressing the need to synchronize poverty alleviation with rural vitalization.

On the whole, poverty reduction should be advanced in a way that can elevate the development capacity of the low-income population in underdeveloped and rural areas, offer well-targeted support to those in need and facilitate the gradual realization of common prosperity, he said.

Xi stressed the ever-growing need to strengthen and improve the Party's leadership as the fight against poverty continues, urging Party committees at all levels to fulfill their duties and missions.
