“This International Youth Day, we recognize and celebrate the youth as a key pillar of the advancement of the nation and a major driving force towards human, social, economic, and scientific development. This year’s occasion coincides with major economic and developmental challenges, which call for empowering and enabling the youth and creating more opportunities for them. The UAE is proud of the distinguished position of its youth, which stems from the unwavering support of our wise leadership. Consequently, the UAE has become an international role model for the empowerment of youth talents and competencies, with young leaders holding high government positions and aptly managing major institutions and companies across various sectors. Furthermore, the UAE has become a haven for young innovators from all over the world, in line with the directives and wise vision of H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, who underlined that: “The UAE will continue to be an ideal incubator for young people’s dreams and aspirations, providing them with the best platforms to shape and develop their capabilities”.
We, at the SLC, reaffirm our commitment to develop a legislative framework that supports the youth and provides them with a more empowering environment.”
