Kareema Mohammed Abdullah Al-Abbasi, Secretary-General of the Shura Council,

underscored the significance of this visit and its substantial contribution to the exchange of

experiences between young people in both countries, particularly in enhancing political

awareness and educating them about best practices in the parliamentary realm. She stated

that in order to operationalise the program’s objectives, this coordination is part of the ‘Young

Parliamentarians’ program’s mission to identify the democratic and parliamentary process in

Bahrain. In addition to encouraging field scientific research and utilising international best

practices in youth parliamentary work, she added that this program seeks to establish a base

of young people who are well-prepared to engage in politics and become leaders in

parliamentary work.

Al-Abbasi further noted the interest of the General Secretariat of the Shura Council to draw

attention to the Kingdom of Bahrain’s leading experience in democratic practices and the

contributions of the legislature within national development paths. She also emphasised the

pivotal role of the General Secretariat of the Council in offering administrative, technical, and

advisory support to improve the outcomes of legislative work. She pointed out that mutual

visits provide everyone with the opportunity to exchange experiences, discover best practices,

and gain insight from youth’s ideas to help shape their future goals and dreams.

Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said: “We are always proud to

support and empower young Emiratis in various international forums, in line with the vision of

our wise leadership and his continued support to young people. flydubai, as a national carrier,
is keen to facilitate the movement of trade and tourism, as well as support the local

community. We constantly aim to increase the participation of our young citizens, which also
serves as an ideal opportunity to highlight the achievements of the UAE and the pivotal role

of young people in preserving these gains and reaching new heights."
