If there is something I would like to do as President of the General Assembly, it is to place more emphasis on the issue of education, which enables a better life for women.
There are many challenges, there are many obstacles let us try to change the obstacles to advantages.
I do not want to speak about overpopulation or birth control, but I think education is the way to give new impetus to the poverty question.
I think we have grave problems. I am very much concerned about environmental questions, even though in Finnish society, we are not facing the most urgent problems.
One of the biggest development issues in the world is the education of girls. In the United States and Europe, it has been accepted, but not in Africa and the developing countries.
