General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Lao President Bounnhang Vorachith's reply letter to Shibadong villagers

During the Songkran Festival of Laos (Lao New Year) in April 2019, Shibadong villagers wrote a letter to Bounnhang, updating him about development in the village over the past year and sent their new year greetings.

Bounnhang wrote back to the villagers soon after. He recalled the warm hospitality he and his delegation received and noted that the success of Shibadong provides valuable experience for Laos in its effort to reduce poverty and graduate from under-development.

The approach of "targeted poverty alleviation," reflecting Chinese wisdom, has won international recognition.

On December 20, 2018, under China's initiative, the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled "Eradicating Rural Poverty to Implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" co-sponsored by G77 and China.

Concepts such as "targeted poverty alleviation," "cooperation for the benefit of all," and "building a community with a shared future for mankind" advocated by General Secretary Xi Jinping were written into the resolution, offering China's solution for eliminating rural poverty around the world.
