Promoting World Peace and Development with the Vitality of Youth: Chengdu | Youth | Youth
Youth is the future of a country, as well as the future of the world. In the face of changes in the world, the times, and history, building a better world and a community with a shared future for mankind requires more than ever the broad participation of young people from all walks of life in various countries, bravely shouldering this mission and responsibility.
We have successively held the "the Belt and Road" Youth Makers International Forum, the World Youth Development Forum, the World Youth Scientists Summit and other youth international exchange activities, launched the global youth development action plan, and constantly improved the international influence of Chinese youth organizations and the leadership of the international youth agenda. At present, China has established exchange and cooperation relationships with over 200 international organizations, foreign government youth organizations, political parties, and non-governmental youth organizations. We also actively organize social practice, volunteer service, and national investigation activities for Chinese and foreign university students. Under the framework of the "China Youth Volunteer Overseas Service Plan", more than 700 young volunteers have provided medical and health, agricultural technology, civil engineering, and other services in more than 20 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. At the recently concluded 31st Summer Universiade in Chengdu, 6500 young athletes from 113 countries and regions from around the world competed and got to know each other, understanding each other's cultures, interests, and hobbies, and enhancing understanding and friendship. This "Youth Covenant" international exchange event is not only a solemn promise that China has fulfilled to the world, but also injects more youthful vitality into the promotion of world peace and development by athletes, coaches, and volunteers on and off the field.
The friendship between nations lies in people to people matchmaking, which should start from youth. The future world is related to the future and destiny of every young person, and it also depends on their hard work and struggle. On the new journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, we young people should continuously draw wisdom and innovation from the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, draw knowledge from the development of human civilization, embrace the world and the future, promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all mankind, and take practical actions to promote global security initiatives, global development initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, injecting surging youth energy into building a better world and jointly composing a new chapter of world youth unity and cooperation.
