PeaceTV Media Report: Yesterday (October 2nd) at the United Nations Economic and Social Council Hall, an International Day of Older Persons conference was held. Ambassadors from multiple countries, including Argentina, Chile, Portugal, and Brazil, who are permanent representatives to the United Nations, gathered to jointly focus on and discuss the rights and welfare of the elderly. The purpose of this conference was to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by the elderly and their contributions to society.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres sait: "Older persons are invaluable sources of knowledge and experience and have much to contribute towards peace, sustainable development, and protecting our plan."
At the conference, ambassadors from Argentina, Chile, Portugal, and Brazil each delivered speeches, sharing their respective countries' experiences and practices in the welfare and rights protection of the elderly. They emphasized the significant role of the elderly in social, economic, and cultural development and called on governments worldwide to take more measures to ensure that the elderly can enjoy a healthy, safe, and dignified later life.
To ensure that Chinese-speaking attendees and Chinese online audience could fully understand the content of the conference, simultaneous translation services in the six official UN languages were provided on-site. Our station specifically utilized the Chinese simultaneous translation service, which not only allowed Chinese-speaking attendees to better participate in and understand the key points of the conference but also reflected the UN's respect and admiration for multiculturalism and languages.
The conference received high attention and positive responses from a broad range of elderly individuals and relevant institutions, making a significant contribution to promoting international attention and support for the cause of the elderly.
