He underscored the significance of youth empowerment as advocated by HRH Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, who supports initiatives aimed at promoting volunteer work and fostering a culture of giving and social responsibility.
According to Jordan News Agency, Momani remarked that Jordanian youth, well-versed in their history and values, possess a strong sense of confidence in both their country and themselves. He highlighted their proactive involvement in shaping the future during a meeting with the “Horizon of Change” initiative. The minister noted that youth-led initiatives have been effective in local development, with several becoming success stories at the governorate level.
