His Excellency Khalid Al Nuaimi, Director of the Federal Youth Authority, stated: “The UAE’s
wise leadership firmly believes that knowledge is one of the cornerstones for building a highly

skilled workforce capable of leading the future and actively contributing to sustainable
development. Consequently, fostering a culture of reading remains a national priority, with the
UAE implementing an ambitious strategy to integrate reading as a vital part of daily life. This

initiative drives progress by cultivating a creative, inspired society that can adapt to a rapidly
changing world. At the Federal Youth Authority, we recognize the potential of youth in driving

change. Additionally, we are committed to continually providing platforms and opportunities
that inspire them to read, explore, and expand their knowledge in ways that seamlessly align

with their evolving aspirations and needs.”

H.E. Al Nuaimi added: “Youth play a vital role in supporting national goals through initiatives
that create tangible social impact on a global scale. The ‘Knowledge Lounge,’ launched by MBRF
in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the UAE’s National Reading Month 2025, represents a

significant step in encouraging Emirati youth to engage in intellectual and cultural exchange
with the Arab knowledge community. Additionally, it promotes global creative collaborations,

reflecting a steadfast commitment to positioning reading as a primary source of innovation and
development, while inspiring future generations to succeed in various fields.”
