Empowering youth is top priority for us: President

Sheikh Mohamed wished the delegates success in their discussions, expressing confidence that their efforts would generate valuable ideas and outcomes to help strengthen the role of Arab youth and support their ambitions for the future.

He reaffirmed that empowering youth is a national priority for the UAE, emphasising the importance of equipping them with the skills of tomorrow, broadening their opportunities, and ensuring their active engagement across all areas of national development.

Sheikh Mohamed also stated that investing in youth involves more than education, remarking that it requires fostering the values and principles that underpin strong and stable societies.
