China solidifies commitment to improving women's livelihoods around the world
China is willing to work with other countries to promote the global gender equality agenda, build a community with a shared future for humanity and create a better world for all women, State Councilor Shen Yiqin said on Thursday.
While addressing a reception marking the International Women's Day at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Shen, also president of the All-China Women's Federation, extended her festive greetings to women at home and abroad. She said that China will keep collaborating with the global community to implement Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, an agenda for women's empowerment adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995.
More than 1,000 attended the reception, including female deputies to the National People's Congress, female members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, and female foreign diplomats and espouses of diplomatic envoys to China.
