(ANSA) – ROME, 02 DEC – “Transition is the main theme of this year’s Med Dialogues and young people are the driving force of change. This is why we feel the duty and responsibility to involve them in defining ways to face the challenges I am thinking, in particular, of the challenges that most directly affect our common future and the future of our planet, such as climate change and economic and social transformations “. This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio speaking at the Youth Forum in the context of Med Dialogues.
“Today, also as a contribution to the Conference on the Future of Europe, we focus on another geographical dimension that is even closer to us. We are pleased to host young people from the Mediterranean region, as we take the opportunity to exchange ideas and proposals aimed at create an area of shared prosperity “, said the head of the foreign ministry.
“Citizens, and in particular young citizens, are in fact the main drivers for building a common belonging between the two shores of the ‘Mare Nostrum'”, underlined Di Maio, recalling that “people under the age of 25 currently represent about half the population of the Mena region and are the real and main agents of change, a change that leads to a more prosperous and predictable future for themselves and their communities. “
“The active participation of the younger generations in political and democratic processes in some Mena countries testifies to their ambition to guide and shape their future,” Di Maio said. (HANDLE).
