The event, held at the Egyptian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, was attended by a number of senior officials, members of the Arab and foreign diplomatic corps accredited to the UAE, and members of the Egyptian community residing in the country. In his speech on the occasion, Ambassador Sherif Eissa emphasised the depth and strength of the relations between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, built on the principles of brotherhood laid down by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. He noted that the past two years have witnessed both qualitative and quantitative transformations in UAE-Egypt relations, with Emirati direct investment in Egypt reaching an unprecedented level of nearly $70 billion, making the UAE the top investing country in Egypt. He also highlighted the UAE's substantial investments in the Ras El Hekma project on Egypt's northern coast, and noted that bilateral trade between the two countries exceeds $4 billion annually. Earlier, the fourth edition of the Youth Knowledge Forum (YKF), titled 'Knowledge Economy and Human Development,' commenced at the Cairo University Theatre, garnering wide participation both regionally and internationally. It is being organised by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Egypt's Ministry of Youth and Sports (MOYS) through the Youth Knowledge Office, under the patronage of Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt. The opening ceremony was attended by Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Egypt's Minister of Youth and Sports, along with several other ministers and senior officials, including Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Population; Dr. Ahmed Fouad Hanno, Minister of Culture; and Counsellor Mahmoud Fawzy, Minister of Parliamentary and Legal Affairs. The inaugural session was also graced by the presence of Jamal Bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF; Dr. Mohamed Sami Abdel Sadek, President of Cairo University; and Eng. Hany Torky, Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, as well as a distinguished group of partners and experts. Furthermore, attendees enjoyed a vibrant lineup of musical and artistic performances by the 'Percussion' troupe. Dr. Ashraf Sobhy stressed that as the host of the Forum's fourth edition, Egypt has demonstrated its strong commitment to investing in human capital and capacity building. Moreover, he stated that the knowledge economy is the backbone of the nation's ongoing development efforts. He further stated: 'The forum serves as a dynamic platform for impactful dialogue and youth policymaking, redefining benchmarks of how government institutions should engage with youth in an era of digital and knowledge transformation. Through such initiatives, we strive to enhance the creativity, awareness, and leadership qualities of Arab youth, since empowering them today is fundamental to building a cohesive society and a sustainable, competitive economy.' Jamal Bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, expressed his delight at the Forum's return to Cairo, following the success of last year's edition. He further underscored that Arab youth empowerment remains a cornerstone of the Foundation's strategic vision. Meanwhile, Eng. Hany Torky, Project Manager of UNDP's Knowledge Project, emphasised that the world's greatest challenge today is not a lack of professional opportunities, but a growing skill gap, which is hindering individuals' ability to keep pace with digital transformation and artificial intelligence. Following the opening, the first session titled 'Knowledge Economy and Human Development' was moderated by Mostafa Magdy, Assistant Minister of Youth and Sports for Strategic Affairs and Information, and a member of the Technical Secretariat of the Ministerial Group for Human Development.

Sharjah hosts second session of Arab Parliament for the Child
The session welcomes participation from 14 Arab countries, with official delegations representing national children's parliaments and childhood institutions from across the Arab world. A unique Arab platform for young voices This session is being held in an atmosphere of notable Arab engagement, as Sharjah — a hub of intellectual, cultural and developmental initiatives for the Arab child — hosts 56 young parliamentarians representing their countries in this pioneering parliamentary experience. The initiative has become a prominent Arab platform for the voice of the child and a means of reinforcing values of dialogue, citizenship and belonging — serving as a model in empowering the Arab youth to express their opinions on issues that concern them. Wide official presence from Arab states The session will be attended by representatives of the Women, Family and Childhood Department of the Arab League, alongside official delegations from participating countries, representatives from the Arab Parliament, experts and media professionals. The participation of this number of Arab countries reflects the prominent status of the Arab Parliament for the Child and the high level of trust placed in its role in shaping the awareness and developing the promising talents of Arab children. Debate on cultural identity of Arab children The young parliamentarians will discuss a highly important topic during this session: 'The cultural identity of the Arab child.' This theme is considered a key foundation for addressing contemporary challenges, preserving the civilisational and cultural heritage of the Arab nation, and enhancing the sense of belonging among emerging generations. Rich and engaging programme A comprehensive agenda has been prepared for the session, including specialised workshops, dialogue sessions, and a general session where the young parliamentarians will present their views and ideas on the subject of cultural identity. These presentations will be based on working papers prepared by the children themselves, along with analytical studies to be presented in educational, social and cultural contexts. Sharjah's pivotal role in child advocacy Hosting the session in Sharjah affirms the UAE's vital role in supporting childhood issues at the Arab level. It also crowns the civilisational vision of the Emirate of Sharjah, established by His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, in making the emirate a lasting icon for the Arab child. This is achieved through cultural and intellectual projects such as the Arab Parliament for the Child, which stands as a fruitful collaboration between the Emirate of Sharjah and the Arab League. Statement from the Parliament Secretary-General His Excellency Ayman Othman Al Barout, Secretary-General of APC, stated: 'We are proud to convene the second session of the fourth cycle of the Arab Parliament for the Child amid broad Arab participation, reflecting everyone's commitment to investing in children's capacities and enhancing their involvement in public affairs.' Cultural identity as foundation for the future He added: 'The topic of cultural identity, which our children will discuss, is one of the fundamental pillars in safeguarding the Arab personality against challenges. We firmly believe that empowering the Arab child with enlightened and free expression is the cornerstone of a prosperous and cohesive future.' Gratitude for continuous support Al Barout continued: 'This distinguished event would not have been possible without the generous support and continuous patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, who believes in the Arab child's potential for excellence and leadership. We also appreciate the close follow-up of the Secretary-General of the Arab League, His Excellency Ahmed Aboul Gheit, and his commitment to ensuring the success of this ambitious initiative.' Outcomes to support Arab strategies He confirmed that the session is expected to yield important recommendations on the cultural identity of the Arab child, to be submitted to relevant Arab bodies and utilised in supporting national strategies in this area. Since the Arab Parliament for the Child established its permanent headquarters in Sharjah in 2019, it has served as a leading Arab platform that amplifies the voice of children and contributes to preparing them as future decision-makers and active participants in the sustainable development of their communities and nations.

Belgian king describes situation in Gaza as 'disgrace to humanity'
In his speech, the eve of Belgium's National Day, King Philippe of Belgium urged Europe to demonstrate stronger leadership at a time when international law is under increasing threat, Belga News Agency reported. He also described the situation in Gaza as a "disgrace to humanity'. The King added that Brussels urgently needs a new regional government. "For decades, international law has been the reliable foundation upon which states could rely. Today, however, that foundation is being openly questioned. But when international law is trampled underfoot, the entire world suffers. Unpredictability and violence are then given free rein,' he went on to highlight the global resurgence of conflicts that ''we had thought were relics of the past''. In this context, he expressed satisfaction that Europe continues to prioritise cooperation and openness over confrontation and exclusion. He noted that this is "sometimes a difficult choice' and "requires courage today.' Palestinians children queue for a portion of hot food distributed by a charity kitchen at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza. AFP Yet, the king added, it is precisely this choice that has brought Europe prosperity and enabled it to forge its own path. Such an approach puts Europe in a better position to respond to digital transformations, strengthen its defence capabilities and address climate change. "Europe must show stronger leadership. It must become a bulwark against, and a credible alternative to, the brutal power struggles we are witnessing today. This can be achieved by remaining true to our core values of democracy, justice and the rule of law. By upholding international law and human rights, we can safeguard human dignity. This is also how we build trust, a virtue we so desperately need," the King said. He then recounted a meeting with two fathers - one Palestinian and one Israeli - who had each lost a child in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They set aside their grief and desire for revenge, transforming their pain into a message of peace. Their testimony moved the King profoundly. "These fathers remind us that, beyond the political dimension, it is always human dignity that is at stake." WAM
