The Prime Minister of Pakistan also serves as Co-Chairman of OIC-COMSTECH, while the President of Pakistan is its Chairman. The meeting discussed jointly organising the Kazan Youth Forum, launching a Digital Youth Programme with a particular focus on training 500 young women in digital skills, and exploring the expansion of the Prime Minister’s Digital Youth Hub to OIC member states. Mechanisms were also discussed to connect the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme with youth organisations in OIC countries, providing greater opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, entrepreneurship, skills development and collaboration among young people across the Muslim world. Prof Iqbal Choudhary said the large youth population of OIC member states represented significant potential for economic and technological development, but greater investment was required in education, digital skills, science, innovation and entrepreneurship. He said cooperation between COMSTECH and the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme could help take successful Pakistani youth initiatives to a wider OIC platform while creating stronger linkages among young professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators and institutions in member countries.
