"Before taking on my role as Lord Mayor of Manchester, I had the privilege of serving as the Council’s lead politician for older people.

"Since the beginning of the mandate, I have sought to continuously engage with different stakeholders around the world to support and develop programs and policies that protect the human rights of older persons."

"In China, through IESC’s partnership with AARP, our senior experts can apply their deep knowledge and technical expertise in a fast-paced and challenging environment while acquiring valuable new cultural and commercial skills, and this program can also provide a fresh sense of personal and professional worth."
