The Minister in-charge of Foreign Affairs for Malaysia, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah intimated, access to quality education with emphasis on skill acquisition and entrepreneurship has the potential to be a turning point for achieving the goal.

On her part, Ghana’s Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey described the youth in Africa as agents of change.

She was optimistic the common desire for a transformative global development agenda could best be achieved through collective efforts and an enhanced global partnership that places development and the wellbeing of young people at its core.

Ayorkor Botchwey outlined the government of Ghana’s initiatives on free SHS and the creation of an institutional support system for the Ghanaian youth through training and acquisition of skills for soft credits and mentorship to develop one’s venture.
