Development still the goal

Fifteen years ago, the United Nations published its historical Millennium Declaration, which mapped out the Millennium Development Goals.

In the milestone document, UN members, including China, committed themselves to jointly conquering poverty, ignorance and diseases by the end of 2015.

China has submitted a satisfactory answer sheet in its efforts to realize the MGDs, with UN reports over the 15 years speaking highly of China's actions to implement the MDGs.
