China's experiences of the last 40 years, and especially during the targeted poverty alleviation program, provide ample reason for confidence in its capacity to realize an ambitious new post-2020 poverty agenda and to make an even greater contribution to the full realization of SDG 1 by 2030.

We at the United Nations in China congratulate the country on what has been achieved to date and extend our full support to future efforts in ending all forms of poverty, and ensuring that development is inclusive and sustainable for all people in China.
