International experts support the participation of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev in the general political discussions of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the important initiatives he put forward, “Dunyo” IA reports.

According to Elmaddin Mehdiyev, General Director of the Eurasian Regional Center of the Youth Forum of the Islamic Cooperation Organization, an official launch of Youth 2030: The United Nations Youth Strategy on September 24, 2018 was an important event for more than 1.8 billion young people around the world.

Today around 30% of the young population in the world live in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation geography, and this remarkable data represents the tremendous potential of our youth for the development of our societies.

“Having this said, we firmly believe that the adoption of the ‘UN International Convention on the Rights of Youth’ timely proposed by His Excellency Mr Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan during the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, carries utmost importance and will help the implementation of more sustainable youth policy across the globe. After 3 years of intensive and comprehensive work, the project of the Convention is presented for adoption to the 75th session of the UN General Assembly”, Elmaddin Mehdiyev noted.

The Eurasian Regional Center of Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum remains devoted to the cause of the progress of the youth in its region, including the brotherly Republic of Uzbekistan, and we are ready to work closely to implement the goals set by sustainable international frameworks.
