China's successful practice and valuable experience in eliminating extreme poverty have enriched and extended the theory of international poverty alleviation, says a white paper released Tuesday.

The practice and experience have boosted the confidence of other countries, especially developing ones, in eradicating extreme poverty, according to the white paper titled "Poverty Alleviation: China's Experience and Contribution."

The country's experience has also served as reference for other countries to choose a suitable path of poverty reduction and offered China's approach to solving the problem of modern national governance and creating brighter prospects for social progress, the white paper says.
