It’s a long and detailed report. My attention was drawn to the remarks about the public health issues, and the parts on the needs to offer emergency assistance to people in need. The state wants to make sure that no one is just left on his own. The target to lift ten million people out of poverty this year is very impressive. It is also very difficult, because we have some activities in some parts of the country with the Chinese Red Cross. It’s true that it’s a very challenging work to lift that many people out of poverty. If all the good recommendation in the report could be put in place, that would be quite an achievement. China is contributing to global issues like Ebola. That is very encouraging to see countries like China to play such an important role. We are really trying to work more closely with the Chinese side. On the different parts of the speech, the Premier emphasized the fact that everything should be centered around the needs of the people. This is something that we are also trying to do.
