     Mr. Kofi Annan, General Secretary of the United Nations, in the Morning of October 14th 2002 visited Zhejiang University where a grand ceremony was held conferring upon him the status of Honorary Doctorate Degree. Soon later Mr. Annan delivered a speech in the university emphasizing that the struggle against AIDS requires cooperation of all ranks of people in the society. Leaderships are needed to break up the dreariness and to abolish prejudice of this illness; the important turning point lies upon the awareness among the youngsters.

    "I know AIDS is at present a challenging problem of deep concern in China today" said Mr. Annan. "An imminent effort must be exerted to prevent HIV/AIDS from spreading in a further scale. The way how China is facing this challenge not only determines the range of this epidemic condition, but will also map out the result of the possibilities of prevention of AIDS and the consequent destructive events that follows. The events would be loss of productive labors, a fierce increase of orphans with lost both parents due to AIDS, a heavy burden of the various social service departments and enterprises as well as a decrease of the national income. In the years and decades to come, the events happening in China will cast a decisive role upon the global influence of AIDS."

    "We learned from the experience of the other countries that the spreading of AIDS could be checked, however, the endeavour should not be attempted in a piecemeal pattern, instead, it must be carried out with the cooperation of all levels of the community.

    · A leadership in every layer of society.

    · It is necessary to surmount the dreariness, and preclude the prejudice to this illness.

    · Youngsters are needed to throw themselves into the frontline of the struggle."

    "All of us should transmit the following information: AIDS is definitely a problem that can be solved. The first step to win the battle of prevention and treatment of AIDS is openly discussing this epidemic condition. Silence leads to death. People must be informed that they can have medical examination and will not be sneered at. They should be aware of the fact that once a person gets infected, the method of treatment is available; they also should know that once they contract this condition, they can carry on their daily living without any discrimination."

    "We learned from various places in the world that for the prevention and treatment of AIDS, the key role is played by the young generation's awareness. Adequate support is now provided for you, and it will enable you to be able to protect yourself from being infected by the virus. Frank, simple and direct information will surmount the silence of the whole community. An effective educational and prophylactic movement is launched forth to enable the enthusiasm, vigor, and the dream about the future from the young generation as a powerful tool for the struggle against AIDS."

    "Quite convincing instances already existed in China, such as the the HIV/AIDS prevention project started by Red Cross Society of Yunnan province 6 years ago and the joint sponsorship of the concert on the global AIDS prevention day by the student association of the People's University and the Chinese Birth Control and Family Planning Association 2 years ago. These examples indicated that the youngsters of China can bring into full play to lead the struggle against AIDS. The young people are able to join hand in hand to transmit the following information: a courageous action against AIDS is absolutely not a shameful behavior, instead, it is an act of proud; the behavior of an individual can on the one hand transmit AIDS virus yet on the other hand can help stop spreading of AIDS. It will be an extremely difficult task to transmit this information in all corners of China, however, the young people usually dislike to evade themselves in front of relentless challenge; exactly on the contrary, they will be courageously facing the challenge."

    "As the Secretary General of the United Nations, I had already set up the struggle of prevention and treatment of AIDS as one of the project of the primary priority of my own. At this point I would like to promise you that the system of the United Nations will join with you hand in hand to advance for our joint endeavor. Herein, I would like to make the commitment that I will stand together with China to deal with all the challenges in front of this great nation."

    "I do have the determination to help China realizing her infinite prospect. The future of China is as well the future of the whole world," said Mr. Annan finally., http://www.100md.com
