Dr A.P.J.Abdul Kalam has been awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland for his distinguished public service. At the honouring ceremony, the University's Vice-Chancellor, Dr Peter Gregson described Dr.Kalam as an outstanding world statesman, scientist, educator and visionary who had inspired millions in India and around the world.
In his reply, Dr Kalam called for pooling global resources for common good. He said that in today's borderless world, countries could not afford to remain isolated as problems affecting one country had implications for others also.
Dr Kalam said that he had noticed anxiety among youth on how to deal with a world devastated by conflict. But he expressed the belief that youth could do it. He called for imaginative leadership to bring people together and build a peaceful world.
