　　Yesterday, I was honoured to take part in the closing of the Shanghai Expo. Before that I visited some of the remarkable pavilions. More than 70 million visitors witnessed an extraordinary display ofingenuity from China and the world. The Shanghai Expo may now be history, but we can carry on its spirit of openness, dialogue and exchange with the world. That is what draws us together. And that is what China itself has made a high priority. It plans to dramatically strengthen its education system at all levels.

　　The United Nations understands the enormous impact of scholarship, innovation and ideas. We are trying to harness that great power to build a better world… A world where human ingenuity will make our homes, communities and consumption patterns socially and environmentally sustainable. A world where research receives the funding and support it needs to defeat disease, deprivation anddespair . A world where the “unlearning” of intolerance will bridge barriers that still divide nations and peoples.
