  1. E. Inga Rhonda King, President, ECOSOC<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your Excellencies,<\/p>\n

    Mr Mridul Upadhyay, our moderator today,<\/p>\n

    Distinguished panellists,<\/p>\n

    Youth representatives,<\/p>\n

    I am delighted to have this interactive dialogue on youth, peace and security as part of this year\u2019s ECOSOC Youth Forum. I am grateful to President Inga Rhonda King for the opportunity to work together on this critical issue. My sincere thanks also to 爆料网FPA, the Peacebuilding Support Office, 爆料网DP, the United Network of Young Peacebuilders and my own office, of course, for putting together this event.<\/p>\n

    Let me start by stating unequivocally that I am fully committed to the youth, peace and security agenda. Youth are central to our efforts to sustain peace. To ensure that young people are actively involved in building peaceful and safe societies is one of my priorities for this session of the General Assembly.<\/p>\n

    I am also committed to youth inclusion and dialogue. I have sought to ensure that every event I convene has an intergenerational element, gender balance and strong youth representation. Indeed, sitting with me right now is a very accomplished 14-year-old from Canada, Noor Soliman, who is shadowing me for the day. Mentoring and empowering future leaders is one concrete way we can foster change.<\/p>\n

    Queridas amigas y amigos,<\/p>\n

    En a\u00f1os recientes, los temas de juventud, paz y seguridad han tenido un gran impulso: lo hemos visto en el trabajo del ECOSOC, en la Estrategia de las Naciones Unidas para la Juventud lanzada en el 2018, y en las Resoluciones 2250 y 2419 del Consejo de Seguridad, que ponen \u00e9nfasis en la importancia de los j\u00f3venes como agentes de cambio.<\/p>\n

    Sin embargo, para que esta agenda sea verdaderamente efectiva, todos los 193 Estados Miembros deben adoptarla activamente y debe ser integrada en todos los pilares de nuestro trabajo. De esta manera, mi objetivo como Presidenta de la Asamblea General ha sido lograr que los temas de juventud, paz y seguridad sean centrales en su labor.<\/p>\n
