The number of those living in poverty declined from 98.99 million in 2012 to 5.51 million by the end of last year.
People's lives in poor regions have been improved substantially, and their difficulties in access to transportation, electricity, education, medicine and telecommunications have been broadly addressed.
With just over 200 days left to eliminate absolute poverty and complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, NPC deputies and CPPCC members attending the two sessions have actively contributed their ideas.
