国内英语资讯:Xi stresses reaching anti-poverty goals despite COVID-19 impact

He urged local officials in Shaanxi to learn their lesson the hard way from the illegal construction of villas in the Qinling Mountains, avoid repeating the same mistake and work as guardians of the ecological environment of Qinling.

Leaving the nature reserve, Xi visited the village of Jinmi in Zhashui County to learn about poverty relief.

Xi stressed ensuring sustained and stable income increase for people in poverty.

"Being lifted out of poverty is not an end in itself but the starting point of a new life and a new pursuit," he said.

Xi underscored the importance of ensuring jobs for the poor as the year 2020 is the time for winning the anti-poverty fight.

In a relocated community in the county of Pingli, Xi went to the home of local resident Wang Xianping and chatted with the family.

Xi said relocation is essential for people in inhospitable areas to achieve strides in development. It is also an important approach to win the fight against poverty.

He stressed the importance of securing employment for relocated people to settle down in their new homes, get rich and not fall back into poverty.

During his stay in Pingli, Xi visited a township hospital and underlined addressing public health weaknesses, strengthening rural and community-level epidemic response capabilities and taking epidemic containment measures on a regular basis. He also visited a primary school and a tea farm there.
