The Kashgar region has been a transport hub on the Silk Road since ancient times, with a splendid history and culture created by a number of ethnic groups, and is currently one of the important bridgeheads for the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt between China and the countries of Central and South Asia.However, as one of the deeply impoverished areas in Southern Xinjiang, poverty, backwardness and isolation have increasingly become the main practical obstacles restricting the healthy and sustainable economic and social development of the counties and cities in Kashgar, objectively restricting the systematic transformation of the traditional advantages Kashgar possesses in terms of geography and humanities and history into a driving force for realistic development.Since the beginning of precise poverty alleviation, the Kashgar region has firmly established the idea of poverty reduction and elimination driven by development, and based on its own actual situation, has accurately found a point of convergence between the east wind and dividends of the national policy and the characteristics and needs of its own development, and has made a series of poverty alleviation and development achievements with distinctive features, remarkable achievements and good results.The poverty alleviation and development of Kashi region has not only injected a strong endogenous impetus into the economic and social transformation and upgrading of Xinjiang counties and cities in the new era, but also further strengthened the sense of community of the Chinese nation in the process of driving all ethnic groups to become rich and prosperous together, making a positive contribution to the national unity and the stability of the frontier.China's Poverty Alleviation Research Report: Kashgar / China Institute for African Studies Library - National Think Tank Report focuses on the overall poverty alleviation development in Kashgar during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and selects the counties located on the Pamir Plateau in the whole region.At the same time, it selects Tashkurgan, a county located on the Pamir Plateau in the whole region, and Yecheng, as a representative of the four poor counties in the Kashgar oasis that have not yet been lifted out of poverty, to carry out relevant case studies, to sort out and introduce the poverty alleviation and development ideas, initiatives, and achievements of the locality in recent years, so as to provide corresponding empirical study cases and observational angles for systematic cognition of the opportunities and challenges of the Kashgar region's development under the background of the overall victory of the Xiaokang (wellbeing).
