In his first speech at the United Nations as China's president, he addresses a range of international challenges, including eradication of poverty. Among the main points:

1. Millennium Development Goals

"By lifting 439 million people out of poverty and making remarkable progress in areas of education, health and women's welfare, China has basically realized the MDGs. China's development has not only improved the well-being of the 1.3 billion-plus Chinese people, but also given a strong boost to the global cause of development."

2. Peace and development

"At the global level, peace and development remain the dominating themes of the times. To properly address the global challenges of various sorts, including the recent refugee crisis in Europe, there is no fundamental solution other than through pursuit of peace and development."

3. The post-2015 development agenda

"Here, I would like to pledge China's solemn commitment to take implementation of the post-2015 development agenda as its bounden duty and work together with other countries for continued progress in global development."

4. More-equal development

"We need to ensure open development to deliver its benefits to all parties."

"It is important for all countries to uphold the multilateral trading system, build an open economy and come to share its benefits through mutual consultation and joint collaboration."

"While striving to eliminate poverty and improve people's livelihood, it is important for us to uphold equity and social justice and ensure that everyone has access to opportunities and benefits of development."

5. Collective efforts

"The international community has a duty to help developing countries with capacity building and provide them with support and assistance tailored to their actual needs."

"Countries should work together to maintain international peace, promoting development with peace and securing peace through development."

6. South-South cooperation

"China will establish an assistance fund for South-South cooperation, with an initial pledge of $2 billion in support of developing countries' implementation of the post-2015 development agenda."

"China will establish an international development knowledge center to facilitate studies and exchanges by countries on theories and practices of development suited to their respective national conditions."
