His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty’s Representative for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs, affirmed that Arab Youth Day is an opportunity to highlight the importance of building a generation that believes in its own capabilities, holds on to its ambitions, and recognises that the future of their nations is not shaped by circumstances, but by will, determination and hard work.

His Highness explained that the Kingdom of Bahrain’s achievements in supporting and empowering young people are based on the wise vision of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the continued support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, who established a national approach that places people at the centre of development and makes them its ultimate goal.

On the occasion of Arab Youth Day, observed annually on 5 July, His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa added that Arab youth possess the knowledge, ability and ambition to lead change and achieve great things, emphasising that the real challenge lies not in the scale of the opportunities available, but in the scale of the ambition that young people harbour for themselves and for their countries.

His Highness noted that the Kingdom of Bahrain continues to provide a supportive environment that enables young people to develop their capabilities, unleash their potential and transform their ideas into projects, initiatives and achievements that contribute to the nation’s advancement and progress.

His Highness emphasised that nations that progress are those that instil confidence in their youth and teach them that competition is not only with others, but also with their own personal limits and the expectations they set for themselves.

His Highness expressed pride in the outstanding successes achieved by Bahraini youth in various fields, affirming that these achievements reflect a conscious national spirit, and an unwavering ambition, and embody the honourable image of Bahraini youth in various forums.
