47 15 Remarks To invite me to participate in YICGG, he (Mr. LONG Yongtu) made a special trip to my office in Beijing. I was deeply moved after his introduction about the competition, which is exactly the cause UNDP has been worked for. So only after 5 minutes, I made the decision to join and agreed to launch this competition together as UN Resident Coordinator in China UNDP Resident Representative in China Mr. Khalid Malik a co-initiator. The reason why we choose to hold this event among young students is because it is vital to let the youth to spread the idea of global governance. I hope the young participants of YICGG can all have such kind of consciousness. Then, in the future, when they become operators and managers, they can treasure our world through their practice. Former Chief Negotiator for China s Entry into WTO & Secretary General for Boao Forum for Asia Mr. Long Yongtu The main target of this activity is to let the youth propose their ideas on solutions to global issues. In my opinion, young people are innocent, naïve, unbiased, not politically motivated and not influenced by business and interest groups. Therefore, the proposals from the youth are more objective. Whether the United Nations or governments, they will be really inspired if they are really willing to listen the voice of these young students.

48 16 Former President of Italy Mr.Enrico Letta EXPO provides a great platform for youth innovation. I am grateful to YICGG for coming to 2015 Milano EXPO, to China Corporate United Pavilion and Fudan University for their deep involvement. The deep involvement of China is one of the key factors of success of Milano EXPO. The world is now facing a series of global issues, such as poverty, global warming, human rights, sustainable development, unemployment, etc. However, the idea of global governance is still faced with the problem of weak international organizations and is still practiced on state rather than global level. I really expect that the participants of YICGG, who come from all around the world, can be the core force of global governance some day in the future. Former Vice Secretary, OECD Mr.Richard Boucher YICGG is a great opportunity for young people around the world to explore and address the global urgent problems, show their spirits of innovation and entrepreneurship. Participants have proposed various recommendations for the world, regions and countries, and shared ideas on investment, employment, economic, assistance, and cooperation. These participants from different countries with different points of view formed a new world team randomly in the summer section competition, but they have learnt how to cooperate in teams, which impressed me most in the competition.

49 YICGG About YICGG 2017 As a Chinese youths self-run project focusing on global governance, YICGG 2017 was held in Astana, together with the Expo. This year, YICGG set the agenda of Future Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure as the theme, to let the young people all over the world make their own voice.
