During his closing remarks, Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Advisor and

Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, stated that the trend
now shifts towards launching a digital platform where young people can

submit suggestions on ways to promote knowledge. These proposals will
be reviewed and evaluated to put them into practice.

For her part, Dr. Sally Mabrouk, Director of the Office of the ICESCO

Director-General, commended the great success of the YFK. She noted the
high attendance and the significant engagement of young people via live

streaming, which reached nearly two million live views over the two days of

the event. This, she said, reflects the growing importance of such forums in
empowering youth and preparing them for the future.

The YKF hosted hundreds of young participants from across the Islamic

World at the ICESCO headquarters in Rabat, with 600 attendees on the first
day and 400 on the second. In addition to discussion sessions covering

various fields of knowledge, the event featured success stories of creative
and innovative young women and men, encouraging participants to pursue

their aspirations and advance their intellectual journeys.
