Advisers set targets for poverty reduction

National political advisers met in Beijing from Monday to Wednesday to improve the targeting of poverty relief.

Vice-Premier Wang Yang delivered a report on Monday at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, pointing to some major problems.

Political advisers said that more training should be provided to improve grassroots officials' ability to carry out poverty relief work and provide more intensive support and more effective measures.
