Doha – Sudanhorizon

The Sudanese delegation has arrived in Qatar to participate in the Arab Youth Forum for Peace and Security 2026, hosted by the Qatari capital, Doha, with the participation of youth delegations from 17 Arab countries, as well as a number of ministers, senior officials, experts and representatives of regional and international organisations.

The Sudanese delegation is headed by Dr Sumaya Abdelmuttalib, Acting Undersecretary of the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports. It also includes Nabiha Abdelrahman, Director of the Ministry’s Youth Organisations Department. The delegation was received at Doha Airport by Deputy Ambassador Abdullah Al-Khater.

The forum is being organised in cooperation with the League of Arab States, with the participation of several United Nations agencies, programmes and funds. Its proceedings will continue until 17 November, as part of efforts to activate the Arab Strategy for Youth, Peace and Security (2023-2028) and strengthen the role of young people in peacebuilding and in consolidating security and stability.

The forum aims to move the Arab Strategy from the stage of establishing frameworks and policy directions to practical implementation by expanding youth participation in decision-making processes, strengthening their presence in peacebuilding institutions, and developing Arab and international partnerships that support youth-related issues.

The programme includes high-level dialogue sessions and 12 parallel workshops, in addition to three youth working groups. These will discuss youth governance, youth protection, building trust between generations, and the role of education, sports, technology and innovation in promoting peace. They will also address the development of partnerships and the empowerment of young people to contribute to tackling societal challenges.

The forum will conclude on 17 November with the drafting of a joint youth declaration outlining key visions, recommendations and outcomes, with the aim of translating discussions into practical initiatives and programmes that can be implemented and monitored.

Sudan’s participation reflects the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports’ commitment to strengthening the country’s presence at Arab and international youth forums, expanding opportunities for cooperation and the exchange of expertise, and benefiting from regional experiences in empowering young people and involving them in efforts to promote peace, stability and development.
