The minister affirmed that the wide range of programmes and partnerships reflects the ministry’s commitment to developing youth initiatives that support national priorities and labour market needs.

Ms Tawfiqi commended the efforts of the national teams, organisers and trainers in delivering the programmes who helped build an environment that encourages young people to develop practical skills and gain valuable experience.
The tour included visits to several training centres and activity areas featuring interactive programmes in the fields of leadership and entrepreneurship, media and entertainment, science and technology, arts and culture.
