Peace or war, light or darkness, human beings face important choices at the crossroads of progress and regression. The future world is related to the future and destiny of every young person, and also depends on the choice and struggle of every young person. Young people from all countries should unite and walk in the same direction, adhere to equal consultation, openness and innovation, help each other, and uphold justice.
