On average, one person crosses the poverty line every three seconds. China owes its great achievements in poverty alleviation to the strong leadership of the CPC, to the spirit of self-reliance and hard work of the Chinese nation, to the solid material foundation accumulated since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the launch of reform and opening-up, and to the concerted efforts of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups in China. China's achievements in poverty reduction are there for all to see and have won wide recognition from the international community. The international community has given China a lot of support, and China has been paying back the international cause of poverty reduction with concrete actions.

This is the Chinese miracle. Egypt and China gather together at this symposium to learn more about each other through cultural exchanges and dialogue between civilizations, and jointly explore experience in poverty alleviation, so as to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
