Youth representatives expressed their hope that youth create tomorrow, possess vitality, and are a vital force driving social development. The World Youth Development Forum, as an important platform, will become a crucial stage for global youth to contribute to global development and for the world to jointly promote youth development. Youth from all countries should uphold the common human values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom, and take concrete actions to advance global development initiatives, jointly writing a new chapter of global youth unity and cooperation. As youth, we must firmly believe and promote correct values in life. We should contribute to global development starting from ourselves and cultivate a broad worldview in young people.
Global youth must uphold their ideals and beliefs as their core values
A vibrant youth requires firm ideals and beliefs. "Only by aiming high can one see far; only by embracing the world can one achieve great things." Young people should base their ideals and beliefs on a deep understanding of scientific theories and a correct understanding of historical laws. Only with lofty aspirations and firm beliefs can youth unleash their potential and prevent their youth from drifting aimlessly like a rudderless boat. Young people around the world are born at a crucial time and shoulder heavy responsibilities. They should set their sights high early on, for the stage to showcase their talents is vast, and the prospects for realizing their dreams are bright. Countless facts show that in youth, choosing hardship means choosing reward, and choosing dedication means choosing nobility.
Young people worldwide must cultivate the "hard skills" to shoulder heavy responsibilities
Struggle is the most vibrant color of youth, and action is the most effective way for young people to hone their abilities. The times always entrust historical responsibilities to young people. "Learning is like a bow and arrow, talent is like the arrowhead." Learning is the ladder to growth and progress, and practice is the path to improving skills. Young people are in the golden age of learning and should regard learning as their primary task, a responsibility, a spiritual pursuit, and a way of life. They should establish the concept that dreams begin with learning and careers are achieved through skills, making diligent learning the driving force for their youthful journey and increasing their skills the energy for their youthful struggles. We must enhance our sense of urgency in learning, diligently and eagerly acquiring scientific knowledge, improving our comprehensive qualities, and honing our skills. We must strive for excellence in scaling the heights of knowledge, undergo rigorous training in frontline practice, accumulate knowledge and skills, and achieve great things through concrete actions.
The world's youth must bravely take up the baton of responsibility and mission
Youth are the most vibrant, enterprising, and least conservative group in society, possessing boundless power to transform the objective world and drive social progress. Youth have the greatest enthusiasm and drive for innovation. With responsibility and commitment, youth will shine. The vast majority of young people must deeply understand and grasp the trends of the times and the needs of the nation, ensuring their thinking, perspectives, and levels of understanding keep pace with the times. They must observe society with keen eyes, contemplate life with a clear mind, and create the future with wisdom. They must dare to be pioneers and break through barriers, contributing their intelligence to the nation and serving society with pioneering spirit. Achieving world peace and development is a historical relay race, and young people must strive to be at the forefront of this bright path. Valued youth, relied upon youth, and empowered youth became a central theme of this World Youth Development Forum.
Young people possess active minds and broad perspectives, frequently proposing creative new viewpoints and ideas. They also understand how to seek the greatest common denominator for global cooperation and build consensus on development. As Jayatma Wickramanayak, the UN Secretary-General's Envoy for Youth, stated in her address: "There are currently 1.8 billion young people on Earth. If we can recognize their value and give them the space to realize their potential, it will bring extraordinary opportunities."
