Participants agreed that exchanges and sharing of experiences are crucial for consolidating the results of poverty reduction and sustaining the cause of global poverty reduction in the aftermath of the epidemic, China and Latin American and Caribbean countries have explored and formed valuable experience and practices with rich characteristics and obvious results, and as long as we insist on building consensus and cooperating hand in hand, we can definitely benefit more people in China and Latin America.
