ISLAMABAD:<\/strong> President Asif Ali Zardari, in his message on International Youth Day, has said that the energy, creativity and determination of Pakistan\u2019s youth are among the country\u2019s most valuable assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paying tribute to young Pakistanis, the president said that quality education, decent employment and opportunities for innovation were among the shared aspirations of the country\u2019s youth. He emphasized that empowering young people was an investment in Pakistan\u2019s future and essential for building a stronger and more prosperous nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari highlighted the country\u2019s youthful population, saying that approximately 67 percent of Pakistan\u2019s population is below the age of 30<\/strong>. He described young people as Pakistan\u2019s largest human capital and stressed the need to provide them with opportunities to develop their skills and contribute meaningfully to national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his message, the president said that the potential of young people could play a decisive role in determining Pakistan\u2019s social and economic future. With the right education, skills and employment opportunities, the country\u2019s youth could become a powerful force for economic growth, innovation and social progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that young people aspired to receive quality education and obtain dignified employment while also seeking opportunities to use their creativity and entrepreneurial abilities. Meeting these aspirations, he added, required sustained investment in education, skills development, technology and employment generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari also emphasized the importance of empowering young women. He said that the abilities, participation and leadership of young women were indispensable to Pakistan\u2019s social and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed out that women constitute an important part of the country\u2019s young population and that providing them with equal opportunities in education, employment, entrepreneurship and leadership would strengthen the national economy and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president also highlighted the role of the Prime Minister\u2019s Youth Programme<\/strong>, saying that the initiative was providing young people with opportunities in education, skills development, employment and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such programmes, he said, could help young Pakistanis develop the knowledge and skills required to compete in an increasingly technology-driven global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari urged young people to make positive contributions to society and adopt values such as honesty, compassion and tolerance. He said these values were essential for creating a peaceful, inclusive and cohesive society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He encouraged the youth to use their abilities and creativity responsibly and to play an active role in addressing the challenges facing the country. Young Pakistanis, he said, had an important responsibility in shaping the country’s future through constructive participation and commitment to national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president stressed that empowering young people to participate actively in national development was not merely desirable but a necessity. Pakistan’s future, he said, depended significantly on how effectively the country could harness the potential of its large young population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With nearly two-thirds of the population below the age of 30, Pakistan has a significant demographic advantage. However, realizing the benefits of this youthful population requires adequate investment in education, vocational training, employment opportunities and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari’s message emphasized that youth empowerment should remain a national priority. Providing young people with opportunities to acquire modern skills and participate in economic activities could help reduce unemployment while supporting innovation and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also underscored the importance of creating an environment in which young people could pursue new ideas and entrepreneurial ventures. Access to education, training, technology and financial opportunities can enable young Pakistanis to turn their ideas into productive businesses and contribute to economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president said that young people should be encouraged to participate in the country’s social, economic and civic life. Their involvement, he maintained, could strengthen institutions and promote a more inclusive and dynamic society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further called upon the youth to demonstrate responsibility and perseverance while pursuing their ambitions. By embracing honesty, compassion, tolerance and respect for others, young people could help build a more harmonious and united Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Youth Day is observed globally to recognize the contribution of young people and highlight challenges and opportunities affecting them. In Pakistan, the occasion provides an opportunity to focus attention on the country’s large youth population and the importance of ensuring their meaningful participation in national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari reiterated that the country’s young population represents a major opportunity for Pakistan. If equipped with quality education, appropriate skills and access to decent employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, young people can make a significant contribution to the country’s economic and social progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He concluded by emphasizing that the dream of building a strong, inclusive and prosperous Pakistan<\/strong> could only be achieved through the meaningful and active participation of the country’s youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president’s message therefore called for continued efforts to empower young Pakistanis, invest in their abilities and provide them with the opportunities needed to realize their potential. He stressed that Pakistan’s youth are not only the country’s future but also a vital force for its development today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
