Messenger, the magazine of the United Nations Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO), recently conducted an exclusive interview with Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and UNESCO Special Representative for Promoting the Education of Girls and Women.
Peng Liyuan said in the interview that eradicating poverty and realizing gender equality are the common ideals of all humanity. They are also the common expectation of women from all over the world. After constant efforts, China has achieved the goal of eradicating absolute poverty. Education is an extremely important measure in this.
