Cairo, Egypt: The Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports, in collaboration with the Arab Voluntary Union, hosted the fourth edition of the "The Nile Ship for Arab Youth" program. The program brought together 120 young people from 13 Arab countries, including Jordan, Djibouti, Lebanon, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, UAE, Palestine, Oman, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. The initiative aligns with the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's declaration of the "Arab Youth Year."
Under the patronage of Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Minister of Youth and Sports and Chairman of the Executive Office of the Council of Arab Ministers of Youth and Sports, the program received approval and support from the League of Arab States, in implementation of the decision of the Council of Arab Ministers of Youth and Sports No. 1058 in its 46th ordinary session held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The welcoming events included a reception for the participants, a coordination meeting for the heads of the participating delegations to outline the program's agenda, and a visit to the most important historical landmarks in Upper Egypt.
The program aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences and expertise in innovative volunteering and food security among Arab youth, create an environment for developing joint projects and programs between Egyptian and Arab youth, unify opinions on common Arab issues, and develop proposals to continue developing youth cooperation between Egyptian and Arab youth. The program also aims to showcase available youth opportunities and stimulate the participants' intellectual and interactive engagement.
It's worth noting that the Minister of Youth and Sports attended the launch of the program, which will continue from October 7 to 18, 2023.
