Participants of the 11th Meeting of UNESCO Goodwill envoys discussed situation in conflict areas and ways to overcome effects of natural disasters.

According to Euronews, Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova thanked the ambassadors for their contribution to spreading UNESCO's message of peace in the difficult period of history.

"Much has been achieved, but more is to be done," said the head of the organization. According to her, the meeting was "held in the year, which was an eventful one." First, Bokova emphasized the impact of economic crisis on the lives of people around the world, but also recalled the important geopolitical change in the Arab East.

In this context, the Director drew attention to the role of youth, who have become the engine of democratic change in the region, as well as to the issue of gender equality and women's status in society.

Addressing the guests in the meeting, Ms Bokova personally thanked UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, the first lady of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva and Heydar Aliyev Foundation for financial assistance in the aftermath of Haiti earthquake.

In turn, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Jean-Michel Jarre, said that global problems require constant attention and effort. "In times of crisis, people are filled with emotions, but after a few months they all forget about this or other catastrophe.
Efforts must be unrelenting", said the French musician.
