I extend greetings to all the youth and youth leaders on this year's International Youth Day. An exciting eleven years have passed since the celebration of the awareness of Youth on this day.
I wish to congratulate all youth and youth leaders around the world that have made it to this International Youth Day 2010, for it also marks the beginning of the International Year of Youth. This year's them "Dialogue and Mutual understanding" opens my eyes to the last decade of dialogues that the World Assembly of Youth have had. Not forgetting conferences and activities that youth have held worldwide to combat, enforce or encourage the societies in essential topics that govern
our world today. Topics like: Climate, Drug abuse, Gender Equality, Participation for development and ICT to mention a few.
All around the world Youth and youth leaders have gathered to give hope, and this year we can tell it was not in vain. We should continue to support these Dialogues and have a mutual understanding to achieve more of our goals as youth.
As this day marks the beginning of the International Year of Youth, I urge members of the World Assembly of Youth to celebrate the day with youth around them, and bring awareness of how important it is for us to have one voice and understanding.
May we give a hand where our brothers and sisters are falling, may we understand each other and learn to work together, and may we be heard for a brighter future.
Have a happy International Youth Day.
Rt. Hon. Datuk Seri Mohd Ali bin Rustam,
President of the World Assembly
of Youth (WAY)
