Message from H.E. Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Permanent Representative of Guyana to the UN, on International Youth Day:

"Today, as we commemorate International Youth Day 2026, I would like to recognize the important contributions of young people in shaping a brighter and better tomorrow.

The theme of this year’s International Youth Day: “Different contexts, common aspirations” is fitting. Across different continents and circumstances, young people share the same aspirations and hope for quality education, decent work, good health and wellbeing, and reduced inequalities.

We must continue to engage them as shapers and contributors to policies. This is the only way to deliver their common aspirations.

Happy International Youth Day 2026."
