VIENNA (IDN) – Li Yong has a 'dream', the dream to give young people, living in similarly poor conditions as he experienced in China in his childhood, an opportunity to play a part in "the global fight against poverty".
Li was re-appointed head of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) on November 27 for four years by the Organization's supreme policy-making organ, the General Conference (GC) where member states meet once every two years.
He was first elected in June 2013 as the UNIDO's Director General, becoming as Xinhua noted, "the first United Nations (UN) agency chief from the Chinese mainland".
