Chinese Vice Minister of Agriculture Zhang Baowen Wednesday called on the international community to make joint efforts to tackle the world's food security problem.

Zhang is heading the Chinese delegation at a two-week conference of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) which opened Nov. 29 in Rome.

The official said that since the World Food Summit and United Nations Millennium Declaration, all governments have fulfilled their promises by earnestly implementing the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and its action plan. As a result, the general situation of food security has, to a certain extent, been improved.

However, Zhang said, unresolved problems persist to threaten world food security.

The realization of such a basic human right as access to food requires concerted efforts of the international community and all governments in the world, he added.
