This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations—a milestone that has guided the world toward peace, justice, and sustainable development for eight decades. Born from a deep desire for cooperation and a vision for a better future, the UN remains a beacon of hope and a cornerstone of global order.
Today, as conflicts, inequality, and environmental challenges continue to test our world, young people are stepping up as dynamic catalysts for change. With fresh ideas and unwavering energy, youth are championing global peace, expanding access to education, reducing poverty, and tackling climate change. 🌍💡
At the 5th China-Africa Future Leaders' Dialogue, CGTN engaged with several young representatives from China and Africa. Their inspiring discussions underscored the vital role of youth in making the multilateral system more inclusive, action-oriented, and adaptable. Their passion and commitment show that when young voices join the conversation, the possibilities for a sustainable future are endless.
As we celebrate the UN's 80-year legacy, it's clear that empowering youth is key to building a world grounded in dignity, justice, and shared progress. Let’s continue to support these changemakers as they drive global transformation.
