The Counterpoint Group would like to congratulate Battushig Batbold and fellow delegates of the One Young World global leadership summit in London earlier this month.
Battushig Batbold, the son of the Mongolian Prime Minister, Sükhbaataryn Batbold; addressed an audience of over a thousand of his fellow young global leaders representing 192 countries from around the world. Though the precociously accomplished 23-year old Mr. Batbold highlighted the merits and opportunities of investing in smaller countries such as Mongolia, one of the world’s fastest developing countries, it was clear that the focus of his speech was international development through cooperative opportunities. Battushig used the academic model of “study abroad” as an example of successful and mutually beneficial partnerships across state lines. Cooperation and better understanding of global challenges certainly seemed to be the theme of the inaugural conference.
Though the summit featured an impressive list of distinguished counselors including, Senator John Kerry, Kofi Annan, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof, and Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, the real emphasis of the conference was the resolutions developed by the attending young delegates to face global issues. Human rights, religious tolerance, world health, and sustainable development were all major topics that these working groups addressed.
By the time of it’s closing ceremony, the summit had successfully bridged major gaps between nations large and small by emphasizing the shared values and developmental goals of the next generation of world leaders.
The Counterpoint Group would like to commend the organizers for this impressive and essential summit to further international development.
