Jeju Volcanic Island, is the only place where all four Internationally Designated Areas occur at the same location - a UNESCO World Heritage, Biosphere Reserve, Global Geopark and RAMSAR wetland site. The right place to discuss the SDGs challenges with the Jeju Mayor!

Congratulations, dear Dr. Lee! Such an Institute is so important for the closure of the digital and technological divide between girls and boys. I have visited Jinan University last December - a renowned academic institution of excellence. Good luck for the future!

Thank you for emphasising the immense effort that was made to link culture and security. I strongly believe that culture alone is not enough to build peace. But without culture, peace cannot be lasting.

Visiting to share ideas with President Mi-kyung Lee, a strong advocate of adolescent girls’ empowerment! A 12 years old girl should be able to continue education in a safe school, supported by her family & community. This is a measurement of SDG’s success!

Happy to participate in the debate on the SDG Goal 11 on cities at the Hainan Boao Forum. My message-heritage protection and culture should be fully integrated into urban strategies. Culture has the power to make cities more prosperous, inclusive, safe and sustainable.
