The National Dialogue's Board of Trustees applauded the World Youth Forum (WYF) organizers' decision to use the proceeds from sponsorship rights to launch a large package of development initiatives, projects, and programs that directly support citizens and young people inside and outside Egypt, rather than holding the event in its traditional yearly format in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm El Shiekh.

The decision will significantly contribute to the advancement of the New Republic's development process led by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, in a way that serves the Egyptian citizen's interests and offers good living conditions for all people, the board said in a statement.

The package will be taken into consideration within the three main axes of the National Dialogue, it added.
