She also asserted that the Arab youths became the target of development strategies in the Arab region.

She also asserted the importance of providing the right environment that aims to recruit youths in order to achieve overall and sustainable development.

The minister urged youths to be more positive in the current phase especially after initiatives announced earlier by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

The three-day forum is organized at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport and in cooperation with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).

The forum is held under the auspices of Sisi.
