Improved efficiency, better supervision among reforms in foreign aid system: Wang Xiaotao

China's foreign aid is still categorized as South-South cooperation and it will provide assistance to foreign countries within its ability, said Wang Xiaotao, chairman of the China International Development Cooperation Agency.
China will make sure that every penny is used wisely in foreign aid. China's foreign aid work will show the sense of justice and sympathy of the Chinese people, as well as their image of holding out helping hands when friends are in need, Wang said.
China will work with other countries and international organizations to contribute to implementing the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations and building a community with a shared future for mankind, he added.
