Stylish first lady gives key UN speeches in English

First lady Peng Liyuan delivered two speeches in English at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Saturday.

It was the first time in China's diplomatic history that this had been done since the founding of the People's Republic of China 66 years ago.

Peng, nominated as a special envoy to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization last year, gave a five-minute speech in English at the Global Education First Initiative event.
