My country has signed a memorandum of understanding on South-South cooperation with the United Nations World Food Programme

signed on-siteZhang Weifeng, a member of the Party Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and secretary of the Party Group of the State Food and Material Reserve Bureau, said that in the 70 years since the founding of New China, China's food security capacity has improved significantly, and grain supply and demand have achieved a historic leap from chronic shortage to total balance, ensuring basic self-sequidity of grain and absolute security of rations. This has contributed to the sustained and healthy development of China's economy and society, while making positive contributions to world food security.
The Memorandum of Understanding on South-South Cooperation signed by the National Food and Material Reserve Bureau and WFP within the framework of South-South cooperation aims to implement the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations, further deepen bilateral cooperation in the field of food, and extend China's skills and experience in the management of the food storage system, post-partum food loss, post-natal services, and the promotion of links between smallholder farmers and markets to developing countries in need of more help to ensure international food security.
, a senior official at WFP headquarters, said the world's food security challenges remained critical, with 821 million people starving. China has made great achievements in poverty reduction and social development over the past 30 years, and is now an important partner of WFP in the world. The signing of a memorandum of understanding on South-South cooperation with the National Food and Material Reserve Board is a landmark initiative to strengthen cooperation in the field of food and help developing countries improve food security and nutrition.
