4/14/25, 4:30 PM AIM Congress: UAE Underscores Longstanding Commitment To Investment-led Growth & Global Partnerships - UrduPoint
Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary General of the League of Arab States, delivered a

profound and forward-looking speech during AIM Congress 2025, underscoring

the urgent need for unity, sustainable development, and strategic investment
across the Arab world in the face of growing global challenges.

He drew parallels between current geopolitical tensions and the instability and he

urged Arab nations to safeguard their national interests while strengthening
regional cooperation.

Shifting focus to economic development, Aboul Gheit stressed the Arab region’s

enormous potential, particularly its youthful population. “More than 60% of

the Arab population is under the age of 30. This represents an extraordinary

opportunity,” he said. He advocated for the empowerment of youth through
investment, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Speaking during the Global Leaders’ Debate at the AIM Congress 2025, Judith

Suminwa Tuluka, Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo, spotlighted
the nation’s remarkable investment potential amidst ongoing challenges.

Addressing a global audience, Tuluka emphasised the strategic importance of the

DRC’s mineral wealth, fertile land, and youthful population. She acknowledged the

infrastructure and energy constraints facing the country, largely shaped by the

legacy of conflict, but reframed them as key areas for impactful investment.

“Our diversity, our minerals, and our role in the climate conversation uniquely

position us on the global stage,” she said.

“We are welcoming investment into these sectors and have enacted progressive

policies to ensure that partnerships yield mutual benefits.”

The Prime Minister emphasised Congo’s substantial consumption potential and

the promise of a dynamic workforce to drive long-term economic growth. She

called on global investors to recognise the DRC not only as a resource-rich
country but as a future hub of sustainable development and inclusive opportunity.
