BEIJING, Nov. 21 -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Monday delivered a message of congratulations on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
In the message, Li spoke highly of the efforts made by UNIDO to help developing countries develop industries and accelerate growth and to push global poverty reduction.
Facilitating the sustainable industrialization with inclusiveness and pushing forward innovation is an important content of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Li said.
The Chinese government will concentrate efforts on implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and the "Made in China 2025" strategy, and on advancing a deeper integration of mass innovation, industrialization and information technology, he said.
China, as the largest developing country, will, as always, support the work of UNIDO, said Li, voicing his belief that the organization will make greater contribution to a robust, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of the world economy.
On Nov. 17, 1966, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution establishing UNIDO as an autonomous body within the United Nations, with a mission to promote and accelerate the industrialization of developing countries.
