It is an honour to send greetings to the young participants of the World Youth Development Forum.
很荣幸，能够向世界青年发展论坛的参会青年致以问候。
My thanks to the All China Youth Federation for hosting this important gathering.
感谢中华全国青年联合会主办这次重要的盛会。
This Forum is a critical opportunity to bring young people together to shape solutions to some of the most pressing global issues of the day. Young people have suffered tremendously under the COVID-19 pandemic. Missed school, social isolation, increased unemployment and poverty, and a mental health crisis that affects young people in an outsized way.
At the same time, young people have met these challenges with characteristic innovation, spirit and solidarity. Reaching out to friends in need. Supporting your families and communities. Tirelessly calling for progress and justice for people and planet alike. And urging world leaders to invest in a better, more equal future for all, and to get the Sustainable Development Goals back on track.
The theme of this conference reminds us that truly sustainable development means working not only for young people like you, but with you. From climate action and the green and digital economies, to jobs and entrepreneurship, to sustainable recovery from the pandemic, to the importance of quality education for all the focus of September’s Transforming Education Summit.
Across all of the areas you’re discussing over the next two days, we need your ideas, innovations and energies more than ever.
在接下来两天你们探讨的所有领域中，我们比以往任何时候都更需要你们的想法、创新和能量。
And I urge the leaders and officials joining your discussions at this Forum to heed your calls for change. To put your needs first across their policy and investment decisions. And to urgently support your inclusion and engagement across all aspects of political, economic and social life.
And it starts with you, the young people of the world.
从你们开始，全世界的青年们。
As Secretary-General, I am proud to stand with you in solidarity and support as you lend your minds, hearts and tireless spirits to shape a better, more sustainable future for all people, everywhere.
