Doha: UAE government has decided to appoint a person under the age of 25 as a minister to represent the youth.
This was announced by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE on his twitter.
“I would like to choose a young person under the age of 25 to represent our youth, their issues and ambitions as a UAE government Minister.
“Youth represents some half of our Arab societies, so it is only logical to give them a voice and role in governing the nation,” he tweeted.
He urged UAE universities to nominate 3 young men and 3 young women who graduated in the last two years or who are in their final years.
“Youth have hopes and dreams, issues and challenges; they are the reason why societies prosper or fail. They are our hope for the future,” he further tweeted.
“Our young country was built by the hands and achievements of youth. Youth is our strength and speed and is our treasure for the future.”
