The activity first reviewed our center's seminars and follow-up work in 2024; Presenters from Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria successively shared their own poverty reduction cases, while participants from Uganda, Cuba, and Colombia also submitted their own poverty reduction case reports, introducing their specific practices after learning from China's experience in poverty reduction; Afterwards, electronic honorable certificates were awarded to the 15 winners of the Best Articles on China in My Eyes.
