Sheikh Abdullah urges youth to rise up to modern-day challenges

UAE - Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has called on the nation's younger generation to double their efforts in a bid to tackle the challenges in today's competitive world.The minister reached out to the youth during a virtual discussion held on the occasion of the Mohamed Bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations (MBSMFG, 2021) on Sunday.“Today's challenges are fewer, but because there is a lot of competition and achievements, which means you (the youth) have to double your efforts,” he said, as he discussed the ways on how the younger generation can be involved in shaping the future.“The great achievements of the past stood out more, because back then, there were no opportunities. This is why the youth will struggle more today. And I am sure this generation is ready and will help build a greater and stronger country in the next 50 years.”He added: “When people believe that they have learned everything, this is the moment when they fail. Lifelong learning is very important. I'm not talking about schools and universities, but the resources and facilities you have today force you to develop yourselves and even your career skills
