The Global Partnership for Poverty Alleviation and Development, aimed at promoting the exchange of poverty reduction experiences among countries and exploring pathways to fundamentally eliminate poverty, was launched on Wednesday in Beijing.

Jointly initiated by China, 53 other countries and nine international organizations, the partnership was announced during the two-day 2026 Global Poverty Reduction and Development Forum.

Vice-Premier Liu Guozhong said the forum and the establishment of the partnership would push global poverty reduction onto a new journey and inject fresh momentum into pooling global strength and advancing poverty alleviation.
