Kuwait’s Public Authority for Youth (PAY) is eager to strengthen bonds of partnership and ties among Arab youth to face common challenges through participating in Arab events and activities, said a PAY media official on Friday.
The remark was made to KUNA by Jassem Al-Baghli, the head of the PAY’s delegation partaking in the Arab forum for economic and social empowerment, co-organized by the Lebanese Ministry of Youth and Sports and the UNICEF.
Al-Baghli added that the delegation included head of Kuwaiti Youth Council’s international relations committee Abdul Rahman Al-Saeedi and MP Hessa Al-Nuwaif.
He noted that they held several meetings with the delegations participating in the forum, with the aim of strengthening partnership and boosting cooperation between Kuwaiti youth and their Arab peers.
The forum is an opportunity to present youth initiatives and highlight their role in community development, he elaborated.
Meanwhile, Al-Saeedi pointed out that the sessions of the forum discussed several topics like unemployment and the needs of the Arab labor market.
In addition, the sessions covered issues that concern youth, such as privatization, available opportunities, entrepreneurship, the role of civil society organizations in youth development and digital transformation, he stated.
The forum featuring dozens of Arab youth, including Kuwaitis, kicked off Thursday in Lebanon.
