Poverty alleviation is a common challenge for developing countries and the entire world. In 2024, Tsinghua University, together with universities in Latin America, launched the China-Latin American Youth Responding to Global Challenges —— Poverty Alleviation Challenge, sparking a wave of university-led poverty alleviation dialogues between China and Latin America. In November of the same year, during President Xi Jinping’s visit to Brazil for the G20 Summit, Qiu Yong, Party Secretary of Tsinghua University, and the President of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil jointly signed a university cooperation agreement on the "China-Latin American Youth Responding to Global Challenges" program. This agreement was included in the outcomes of President Xi Jinping’s visit to Brazil, becoming a landmark project led by Tsinghua University to advance win-win development between China and Latin America.
