介绍:
Dear excellencies, friends and colleagues,
My name is Roy Wang. I’m a young singer and actor from China, the country with 278 million young people, and the second largest youth population in the world.
Until yesterday, I only saw the UN building on TV. So it’s my honor to participate in the youth forum to have my voice heard.
I’m grateful for this unique opportunity. I was lucky to work with the United Nations China sub-group to support the image 2030 Campaign, which aims at encouraging the young generation in China to reflect and think about the world we want to see in 2030, when the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are expected to be achieved.
This meaningful campaign interested a large number of young people in China, including millions of left-behind children and other marginal young people, and provided them with an opportunity to express their views and share their imagination to inspire our world.
I handed in a cartoon-drawing project. My hope for 2030 is that every young person can gain good quality education, and girls have the same potential to achieve amazing things as boys.
With the support from many young people all over China, the campaign, which has been running for a few months since October 26th, recorded over 500 million views online. Inspired by the campaign, understanding SDGs has become a fashion among the young people.
Dear excellencies, friends, and colleagues, taking this opportunity, both as a leader and a young person myself, I want to reassure you of Chinese young people’s motivation to advance and realize SDGs wherever they are. I truly believe that our youth power can influence the world we live in, and hope that our determination can make a difference.
Thank you very much.
