He further stated, “There will be a focus on specific issues such as youth, climate change, social issues, and women’s rights. I believe all these topics will be part of our activities in the upcoming period, and that in itself is something to be proud of because it will reach people quickly.”
Regarding the importance of Russia’s participation in the organization, Al-Orabi said, “Russia has a permanent role in this matter, and therefore I see their strong presence today as very important and beneficial.
