| Commonwealth Youth Forum Opening ceremony: Statement by Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations |
|
|
|
Entebbe, Uganda
I am very excited to be back in Uganda. Last year I was here in April when I had the privilege to address the commonwealth meeting on Africa’s urbanization crisis.
It is an honor and a privilege for me to be here with you today at this Commonwealth Youth Forum
I wish to congratulate the Commonwealth Youth Council for organizing this youth forum which will provide a platform for young people to contribute to the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Heads of Government agendas. I am pleased that this forum also provides an independent platform for youth representatives to consider their agenda at the same time as the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting.

However, due to other work requirements, he cannot come to this conference. At Mr. Choi’s request, therefore, I am going to deliver his message to the conference.

Barcelona
As we discuss the issue of preventing man made disasters and natural
disasters, it is natural for me to focus on the first part -the man made
disasters -because that is where my own personal experience is from. In the
course of the years I have been engaged in trouble shooting in Africa and Asia.
Europeans, too, are perfectly able of generating manmade disasters
even in our own time and some of my experience comes from Europe.
