The Ministry of Youth and Sports opened the events of the seventh day of the third batch of the fellowship of the late leader Gamal Abdel Nasser for international leadership, which is organized under the auspices of His Excellency President Abdelfattah ElSisi, President of the Republic, with a dialogue session entitled " Planning and Development " with the participation of Dr. Ahmed Kamali, Deputy Minister of Planning and Economic Development, Hussein Khader, representative of the German Red Cross, and Muhammad Siddiq, head of the engineering sector at the Foundation for a Hayah Karima Initiative, and was moderated by Hassan Ghazaly, General Coordinator of Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership.
Dr. Ahmed Kamali, Deputy Minister of Planning and Economic Development, addressed Egypt Vision 2030, which was launched by Egypt in 2016, which takes into account the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development and the objectives of that vision, explaining the difference between economic growth and development. He also added that when development is limited to urban communities, that means that comprehensive development has not been achieved that includes all groups and all regions. Thus, the political leadership has been alerted to this issue and included the real development within the objectives of Egypt Vision 2030 including all classes and all areas in Egypt. Kamali pointed out that within two months, the updated vision will be launched from Egypt Vision 2030, where some other challenges have emerged that required addition, work, concerted efforts and action within the framework of sustainable development and Egypt Vision 2030.
During his speech at the opening session of the seventh day of the Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership, in its third edition, Hussein Khader, representative of the German Red Cross, thanked the Ministry of Youth and Sports for inviting him to speak at that distinguished session. In his speech, he praised Hayah Karima Initiative that is a distinctive idea through which the idea of legal migration and combating extremism can be fought. He pointed out that illegal migration has reached a large record around the world, adding that there is an incorrect link that the cause of illegal migration and displacement is due to wars, but there are many different reasons, including poverty, ignorance and the absence of the role of the state as a social guardian, as the role of the state as a guardian is an important and required in societies where the number of illegal migration is increasing.
Hassan Ghazaly, General Coordinator of the Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership, explained during his speech at the opening session of the seventh day of the Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership, in its third edition, that Egypt, at the age of the late leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, has achieved a real and comprehensive development that reaches the mass bases even after the defeat in 1967, and this indicates good planning, noting that the transition to a Hayah Karima Initiative was linked to the same concepts that the state was building at the age of the late leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, and speaking of youth empowerment, we find that President Gamal Abdel Nasser assumed power at the age of 34.
Ghazali added about the idea of youth empowerment that it is not only related to being young, but when youth are empowered; I must be young and competent here to deserve this empowerment and achieve the goals concerned behind it, stressing that human rights are not only political rights, but there are important rights, which are economic and social rights, but they are not adequately addressed, but rather political rights are addressed more than them.
It is worth mentioning that the Nasser Fellowship for International Leadership, in its third edition is sponsored by His Excellency President Abdelfattah El-Sisi for the second time in a raw, and comes with the participation of youth leaders representing many segments of society targeted by the fellowship this year, including the national branches of the Non-Aligned Movement Youth Network, the heads of the National Youth Councils, and members of local councils who are researchers in centers strategic research, in addition to members of professional unions, as well as media professionals, journalists and social entrepreneurs.
