Descripción
On the occasion of the World Food Week, H.E. Li Keqiang, Premier of State Council, the People’s Republic of China, visited FAO Headquarters in Rome and met with FAO Director-General, Dr. José Graziano da Silva on 15 October 2014. It was Premier Li Keqiang’s first visit to a UN agency since assuming office. In his keynote speech on “Promoting Agricultural Modernization through Family Farming”, Premier Li announced a donation of USD 50 million to FAO to support the Organization's South-South Coope ration (SSC) Programme to improve food security and promote sustainable agricultural development of developing countries over the next five years. The Premier underlined China’s accomplishments and contribution to global food security and agricultural development. China's success on food security has been achieved through a combined approach, the Premier said, including providing incentives to family farmers to unleash their productive potential, supporting science and technological innovation, as well as implementing institutional reforms and providing support for agricultural extension and farmer cooperatives.
