At the press conference the JCI world President Kentaro Harada (Japan) told the members of the press that this conference is one of the best opportunities for them to exchange ideas and goals for future impact . He also said that in Manila , JCI will continue to promote Active citizenship, the need for positive change and how fellow JCI members can help lead communities to a brighter future.
