WAM

Khaled Al Nuaimi, Director of the Federal Youth Authority, led the UAE delegation, along with a group of "distinguished young Emiratis", at the BRICS Youth Summit in Brazil.

This year, the summit, alongside partner countries from the Global South, aims to enhance the role of youth in achieving sustainable development and contributing to global decision-making.

Al Nuaimi highlighted that the UAE's "participation in the BRICS Youth Summit is an exceptional opportunity to strengthen cooperation among the youth of the Global South. It aims to enhance their political awareness and support leadership initiatives encouraging them to innovate and engage in entrepreneurship".

It also reflects the UAE's "firm belief that youth are the key drivers of change, empowered by developing skills, engaging in national and international policymaking and strengthening their presence on influential platforms".

Al Nuaimi added that the UAE has always "encouraged the youth’s role in developing the green economy and digital technologies, enabling their contribution to comprehensive development".

The summit addressed several key topics, including: Youth Integration within the Global South; Political and Organisational challenges; Youth Employment and Joint Development; Education, Science, Technology and Innovation as drivers of National Development; as well as Sovereignty, Social Justice, Environmental Preservation, Peace and the right of Nations to Shape a Shared Future.
