BEIJING: China’s expertise in poverty relief offers lessons for developing countries as the world faces an uphill struggle to eliminate extreme poverty globally by 2030, a World Bank official said.

Borrowing from China’s expertise on that front is crucial as the world lags behind in achieving the United Nation’s goal of eliminating global poverty by 2030, according to Victoria Kwakwa, the World Bank’s vice-president for the East Asia and Pacific Region on Wednesday.
