社評 1022 休斯敦聯合國協會年會晚宴

休斯敦聯合國協會年會晚宴

每年一度的休斯敦聯合國協會年會晚宴昨晚舉辦了一次盛会， 萊斯大學貝克中心主任森德菲大使， 國務院主管國際組織事務之助理，國務卿西陝大使做為主要貴賓 ，在會上闡述了目前世界局勢和美國當前面對之問題。

聯合國協會會長史塔克在歡迎式中表示，對這個成立己経有七十七年的國際組織仍然寄以希望， 並將今年的年會主旨定在對和平之希望 ，透過教育及反飢餓來拯救世界之貧困人口。

曾擔任過十多個國家大使職務之西陜大使是菲律賓裔美人， 在他服務公職四十年中， 她曾代表美國走遍了世界 ，她也鼓勵年輕人能獻身外交工作。

聯合國協年之會址几年來都設在國際貿易中，我忝為理事也希望盡份簿 力， 共同努力來促進世界和平。

今晚我也邀請華裔領䄂及好友出席， 出席人數近四百人， 大家在疫情過後能共聚一堂， 賓主盡歡。
