BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) — The Global Partnership for Poverty Alleviation and Development (GPPAD) was officially established on Wednesday at the ongoing 2026 Global Poverty Reduction and Development Forum in Beijing, according to an announcement made at the event.
Jointly initiated by China, 53 other countries, and nine international organizations, the GPPAD marks a milestone in global poverty-reduction efforts, the announcement said.
While encouraging members to pursue poverty-reduction and development strategies suited to their own conditions, the GPPAD will promote exchanges of experience in poverty reduction and governance, and jointly explore pathways to eradicate poverty at its roots, according to the announcement.
The partnership welcomes the participation of governments, international organizations, the private sector, academia and media institutions, to jointly foster a fair, inclusive, non-discriminatory and sustainable development environment, the announcement added.
Speaking at the forum on the same day, Chinese Vice Premier Liu Guozhong said that China will actively support the GPPAD in strengthening policy dialogue, technical demonstrations and talent training, thereby helping developing countries build stronger poverty-reduction capacity.
