UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has marked World Youth Skills Day with a special message reiterating the country's "focus on empowering youth to lead, create and contribute to the progress of (the) nation".
"We renew our commitment to equipping the UAE’s young people with the skills that will define the future," Sheikh Mohamed said on social media platform X.
