During the event, Leyla Hasanova, Chair of the NAM Youth Organization, emphasized that the Youth Week serves as an open, sincere platform for intergenerational dialogue.

“In the coming days, we will discuss vital issues such as diplomacy in times of uncertainty, sustainable development, energy transition, urban development, and the essential skills required for young people to build meaningful careers in international and political fields.

She further highlighted that this week is dedicated not only to discussions but also to transforming ideas into action, where politics intersects with the people.
