The United Arab Emirates will, on Sunday, observe “International Youth Day”, highlighting the great importance attached to the welfare and progress of the youth. The UAE Government seeks to empower the young generation and prepare them to contribute to the welfare of the Emirati community by instilling in them leadership qualities and by engaging them in the decision-making process, both at the legislative and executive levels.
“Our leadership has dedicated a lot of attention to the youth and ensured that they are well prepared to contribute to the nation’s ongoing development drive. As a result, the UAE’s youth have become a global role model in leadership, excellence and national responsibility,” said Shamma bint Suhail Faris Al Mazrui, Minister of State for Youth Affairs, to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) in a statement. She indicated that the UAE’s policies for empowering the youth and developing their capabilities are focussed on education and innovation, as well as on providing a conducive environment for them to excel and play a vital role in the society.
