WFP turns to China for help ( 2003-12-22 09:47) (China Daily by Zhao Huanxin) The United Nations (UN) food agency says it needs China's experience and expertise to help fight global hunger. "China has lifted several hundred million people out of poverty in less than a generation. That is an extraordinary achievement," said visiting UN World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director James Morris. Expressing congratulations to the Chinese Government for its "remarkable success," Morris said his agency is seeking to forge a new, mutually rewarding relationship with China that reflects "our shared vision of a world free of hunger." About 850 million people around the world suffer from chronic malnutrition, probably half of them children, according to Morris. Since 1979, the WFP has provided 70 volunteer food aid programmes to China, costing US$925 million. The UN agency plans to phase out assistance to the country by the end of 2005, given China attained overall food self-sufficiency in the mid-1990s - though there are still pockets of need, WFP sources say. www1.chinadaily.com.cn
