Some 300 diplomats, policymakers and development experts from 34 countries and international organizations, including the United Nations, gathered in southwest China on March 29, 2025 to discuss how the poverty reduction expertise of the world's largest developing country can provide insights for global poverty governance. The ongoing 2025 International Forum on Poverty Governance and Global Development, co-hosted by the Yunnan provincial government, the China Public Relations Association and the China International Communications Group (CICG), centers on the theme: "Together Promote Rural Revitalization and Common Development." The 2025 forum comes approximately four years after China, with a population of over 1.4 billion people, declared that it had eliminated absolute poverty. Speaking at the forum, Guo Weimin, head of the China Public Relations Association and former vice minister of the State Council Information Office, stressed that poverty governance is "a global challenge and a shared mission for humanity." He told the opening ceremony that since its inception in 2021, the annual forum has focused on issues such as poverty governance, ecological conservation and sustainable development, establishing itself as a vital platform for international cooperation on poverty reduction and the sharing of development experience.
