The World Family Summit +10 will coincide with the deadline for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the global wide discussion about setting a new Post-2015 Development Agenda.

At the UN Conference Rio+20 in 2012, World Leaders agreed that after 2015, and building on the Millennium Development Goals, a new set of goals and targets needed to be grounded to finish the job that the MDGs successfully started.

Since then a new Post 2015 Development Agenda is being discussed by all stakeholders involved in the sustainable development process. The World Family Organization with its members and partners and in special in the spirit of the World Family Summit, cannot be out of the discussions and out of the agenda set.

That’s why the World Family Summit +9 started the discussion on the ideas and the proposals already formulated by different stakeholders following the indications of all the different groups involved in the process of setting a new Post-2015 Development Agenda.

The World Family Summit +10 will be a celebrating and a welcoming event. After ten editions of successful World Family Summits we have to celebrate the decade 2004-2014 where Family Issues were definitely included in the Development Agenda.

We will also celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the UN International Year of Families and the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals.

Recognizing the discussions done on all previous Summits have to be consolidated, the World Family Summit +10 is welcoming the in course building of the new Post-2015 Development Agenda. We will recall participants on the achievements of the MDGs and will also discuss on proposals to be included on the Sustainable Development Goals which will strengthen Families further in the process of development.

We could not choose a better place for these celebrations than China, where everything started in 2004. In the beautiful city of Zhuhai we will inaugurate another decade and a new era for Families by including their voices on the Post-2015 Development Agenda and setting Families' aspirations in the Sustainable Development Goals.
