He pointed out that Qatar is working to encourage youth participation in all stages of peace paths, including decision-making, noting that the Youth Affairs Department of the Ministry of Sports and Youth has been directed to formulate the first national youth strategy in Qatar.
The FM said, “The strategy, which was formulated in consultation with our youth, constitutes a declaration of a common national vision that defines the needs and priorities of Qatari youth.”
He pointed out that the first international symposium on youth participation, which was held in Helsinki in March 2019, resulted in the launch of the first global policy paper on youth participation in peace tracks.
The FM expressed his confidence that this conference will follow this path in reaching joint political commitments to advance the global youth, peace and security agenda, and provide tangible solutions to comprehensive sustainable operations for youth around the world.
He also expressed his happiness that this conference will launch international guidelines to advance the global youth, peace and security agenda, and a five-year strategy to promote comprehensive peace paths for youth, which will be implemented at the national level.
He affirmed Qatar’s commitment to continue working closely with the United Nations for the effective implementation of the main outcomes of this conference as part of our joint efforts to promote comprehensive global peace paths for youth.
