UNITED NATIONS - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday that China would step up efforts to reduce the poor population and fulfill its commitments to realizing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

While addressing the UN summit on the MDGs, Wen said over the past 10 years since the UN millennium summit in 2000, the basic daily demands of a great number of people worldwide have been guaranteed.

He called on the international community to prioritize African development and poverty alleviation so as to fulfill the MDGs in the coming five years before the 2015 deadline.

Arriving in New York on Tuesday for a three-day visit, Wen will also attend the general debate of the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, and a summit of the UN Security Council member states.
