A Chinese official says both developed and developing countries should benefit from the globalization process.

At the ongoing International Labour Conference in Geneva, the official from the Chinese Ministry of Labor and Social Security said some developing countries are in a long-term state of poverty and this is not conducive to world peace and development.

He urged the developed nations to shoulder more responsibility in the area of poverty alleviation in the global and regional scope.
