emphasized the vital role of youth in shaping the future of the UAE.

H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al-Falasi highlighted the transformative potential of the youth, stating,
"The youth possess great energy and innovative concepts that can pave the way for revolutionary

changes in various fields. Through this restructured council, we aim to empower young people to
become the future leaders and key drivers in achieving Dubai’s ambitious vision. Our commitment is to
harness their potential and foster collaboration to support the emirate's future goals."

Omar Al Ansari, Chairman of the Youth Council, added, "The reconfiguration of the Youth Council is a

strategic investment in our future. By creating an environment that encourages creativity and
excellence, we aim to empower the youth to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to
Dubai’s growth and development."

The Youth Council’s initiatives will focus on integrating young talent into strategic human resources
planning across various sectors. The council will operate through four core pathways: Partnerships,

Capacity Development, Artificial Intelligence, and Quality of Life. These pathways aim to enhance
communication, empower youth, and leverage technological advancements to drive innovation, with a
strong emphasis on mental and physical wellness and financial literacy.

Under the guidance of the DGHR’s leadership, the council’s administrative team will oversee the

innovation and implementation of this new system. The overarching goal is to cultivate technical and
leadership skills among the youth, in alignment with the UAE Centenary Plan 2071, which seeks to
empower Emirati youth to lead the nation into the future.
