Numerous leaders of the UAE have expressed the significance of the country's youth on International Youth Day, amid the launch of the "National Youth Agenda 2031." President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan stressed the important role of youth in shaping a better future.

The Agenda, launched last month, aims to make Emirati youth the most prominent role models locally and globally, in thought, values, and effective contribution to economic and social development and national responsibility.

His Highness Dr. Sultan bin Saif Al Neyadi, Minister of State for Youth Affairs, said that the UAE, led by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, views youth as a sustainable wealth that should be developed and empowered with future skills and invest in their energies in line with the country's comprehensive development vision and its efforts to be at the forefront of global competitiveness.

"On International Youth Day, we celebrate the important role of youth in shaping a better future for our nation and world. Through their ambition and determination, youth are essential in accelerating progress towards a more sustainable and prosperous future for all, and the UAE is committed to investing in youth and empowering them to transform our nation’s growth," President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan said on X.

Meanwhile, His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Arab Youth Centre (AYC), said societies develop and thrive through the energy of their youth, and their strength is measured by the strength, loyalty, and commitment of their youth to their values, identity, and understanding of the humanitarian principles on which they are based."
