Announcing the event, the Deputy Minister stressed the importance of the role of youth in the development of society. "It is especially significant that we met at ADA University, where students from various countries get education," said Elnur Mammadov.
According to him, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a very strong impact on the world, and now it is necessary to think about post-pandemic issues. Young people play an important role in such issues. "As chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement, Azerbaijan appreciates the contribution and attention of Abdullah Shahid, Chairman of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly, to young people and their development. The QH Youth Network, which we founded last year, allows young people to contribute to the development of this organization, as well as focus on the Sustainable Development Goals. A summit of the QH Youth Network is planned to be held in Baku in July," the deputy minister informed.
The Chairman of the UN General Assembly, Abdullah Shahid, noted that young people have a special responsibility to address the pressing issues of our time: “Young people need change for a better future. I believe that their voices will always be heard. I founded the Fellowship for Hope program for young diplomats and activists. This is very a important stride in today's world. We are always open to cooperation with young people. We are ready to listen to their suggestions and support them thoroughly."
During the meeting, Abdullah Shahid answered questions from participants of the Youth Network about the structure and activities of the UN General Assembly.
