At a meeting in UNICEF's New York headquarters, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, Kul Gautam, praised CCTV's longstanding commitment to children's programming and presented a commemorative plaque to Yu Pei Xia, Director General of CCTV's Center for Youth and Children. "CCTV is a highly valued partner of UNICEF's office in China," said Mr Gautam. "CCTV's work for and with children is innovative and inspirational, and is recognized throughout UNICEF.

In his acceptance speech, Mr. Yu Pei Xia emphasized CCTV's commitment to children and presented examples of CCTV's children's broadcasting, including an extensive series on children from China's 56 different ethnic groups, and the Galaxy Teenagers' TV Training Institute, which gives children the skills and experience to report and produce their own television programmes on issues that concern them.
CCTV plans to open a dedicated children's channel later this year and is a strong supporter of the International Children's Day of Broadcasting (ICDB), creating opportunities for Chinese children to voice their views and opinions. ICDB is UNICEF's global children's broadcasting initiative and is implemented by more than 2,000 broadcasters on the second Sunday every December when children take to the air as producers, presenters, newsreaders and reporters.
Mr Yu Pei Xia is leading a four-strong delegation from CCTV who met senior staff at UNICEF NYHQ as part of a short tour of the United States, which will include discussions with respresentatives of US-based children's media producers and networks.
