National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim confirmed that Kuwait’s hosting of the Arab Scout Forum was a vital initiative in empowering Arab youth and uniting them in the scouting and parliamentary sectors.
Al-Ghanim said in a statement to reporters Monday, after sponsoring the opening ceremony of the forum organized by the Arab Parliamentary Scout Union (APSU) at the Arab Planning Institute (API), that there is a dire need for these meetings that have a role in promoting Arab action.
He commended the role of APSU, headed by MP Dr. Abdullah Al-Turaiji, and API, led by Director General Dr. Bader Malallah, for organizing this forum, as the cooperation protocol signed between APSU and API will bring positive results.
What distinguishes this forum is the presence of several representatives in most Arab countries, which will contribute to achieving the objectives in promoting joint Arab action, he added.
The opening ceremony of the forum, which will continue until May 12, was attended by about 170 scout leaders from 19 Arab countries and includes the establishment of a group of scouting activities with the aim of promoting the Arab scout movement.
