AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Tuesday met with UAE minister of state for youth affairs and president of Emirates Youth Council, Shamma Mazrui, over means of cooperation and expertise exchange between Crown Prince Foundation (CPF), the council and the Arab Youth Centre.

During the meeting that was held at Al Husseiniya Palace, Crown Prince Hussein and Mazrui highlighted the importance of such cooperation in empowering both countries’ young people, enhancing their leadership skills and encouraging them to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The Crown Prince commended the brotherly ties between Amman and Abu Dhabi, praising UAE‘s initiatives that seek to empower and support youth to play their deserved part in the advancement of their country.

He also emphasised the importance of investing in young people’s potential and providing them with opportunities to participate in the development process.
