Senator John Kerry to Address Inaugural Summit of One Young World in London

Chairman of the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee and Senior Senator from Massachusetts Will Help Lead Plenary Session on the Environment

NEW YORK, January 26 - U.S. Senator John Kerry is the latest addition to the list of
distinguished politicians, scholars and business people who will address more
than 1,000 young people from around the world at the One Young World
Inaugural Summit in London beginning on Feb. 8.

The delegates, who will represent more than 100 countries and were
selected for their exceptional leadership potential, will gather in London
for the Opening Ceremony at London's historic Old Billingsgate. At the
ceremony, they will be introduced to the One Young World counsellors, who
will guide and advise them during two days of plenary sessions on the biggest
issues facing the world: the environment and its protection, interfaith
dialogue, the role of global business, the changing power of the media,
global health and politics for a positive future. Delegates will vote on the
One Young World resolutions at the sessions, to be held in the Excel Centre,
site of the recent G20 meeting.

Welcoming Kerry's involvement and noting his passionate actions for
reform in a variety of areas, David Jones, One Young World co-founder and
global CEO of Havas Worldwide, said: "Senator Kerry represents the finest of
the American creed as well as respect for the world's citizens. He embodies
the best of his generation's commitment and hasn't lost his youthful ardor
for a better planet and community.

"Senator Kerry is a change agent and an inspiration for young people,
especially because this generation of young people is dramatically different
than any generation that has gone before it; the digital revolution has given
them unparalleled access to information and unprecedented power to effect
major change. I'm extremely excited to see what resolutions they come up with
and their subsequent impact in the world. If the world's leaders can't make
the right decisions, maybe the world's young people can help them."

Kerry will be joining counsellors who include Desmond Tutu, Bob Geldof,
Muhammad Yunus, Kofi Annan, Oscar Morales (founder of One Million Voices
Against FARC), Nick Haysom (director of political affairs at the United
Nations), Harald Ludwig (co-chairman of Lionsgate Entertainment), Tony
Fernandes (founder and CEO of AirAsia), Elio Leoni-Sceti (global CEO of EMI
Music), Richard Sambrook (director of BBC Global News), Zhang Deguang (former
deputy foreign minister of China), Carole Stone (managing director of
YouGovStone), Alejandro Toledo (former president of Peru), Santanu Das
(founder of TranSwitch Corp.) and Martin Davidson (chief executive of the
British Council).

One Young World aims to give young people of leadership caliber a
high-profile platform for their views. The counsellors are united in their
belief that young people should have the right to influence world leaders on
the legacy for future generations regarding many of the problems of global
importance the world faces today.

and Kate Robertson, Euro RSCG group chairman, should be made through Marian
