"I specifically consulted friends in the field of poverty reduction in China. They introduced that China also has a 'one-to-one' assistance model, which can provide precise advice to help them formulate plans, apply for funds, sell goods, etc. , these are good and effective experiences. We will also divide the responsibilities of (Laos) central and local relevant departments, and implement them to all poor villages and poor households.” Keywords: international news, Belt and Road, Belt and Road news, One Belt One Road Project

The latest economic data shows that China's national economy grew by 4.8% in the first quarter, and the income of urban and rural residents also achieved steady growth. Song Sai believes that under the current situation of the spread of the new crown epidemic and the weak global economic recovery, China's development experience of seeking progress while maintaining stability is worth learning from Laos. “China has taken measures to ensure people have stable jobs and incomes. At present, especially in the context of the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, business operations have stalled, leading to unemployment crises in some parts of the world, and may trigger social unrest. China’s experience is for us It has provided intellectual support, which is worthy of reference and development in Laos.”Editor/XuNing
