The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has announced Indian actress Priyanka Chopra as its newest goodwill ambassador, joining the likes of David Beckham, Orlando Bloom and Jackie Chan.

The Quantico star previously served as a UNICEF national ambassador in India, where she has been an intrepid advocate for girls and adolescents, and she commented 'My involvement with UNICEF began almost 10 years ago in India. Today, I stand here humbled, enriched and committed, because of it. Thank you, UNICEF, for the amazing journey so far as well as this huge honour. Together, with my fellow, dedicated ambassadors, I am now proud to stand with UNICEF to help build a world where children’s rights are respected and protected'.
