Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha emphasised on Monday the critical role of digitisation in empowering young people across member states.

Speaking on the occasion of International Youth Day, marked annually on August 12, Taha called for increased investment in digital infrastructure and initiatives to help young people contribute to sustainable development.

He noted the upcoming United Nations Summit of the Future, highlighting the importance of assessing progress made towards the OIC's youth-focused goals.

Expressing solidarity with youths in conflict zones, Taha urged OIC institutions to support member states in addressing their needs.

This year's International Youth Day themed, 'From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development,' underscores the global recognition of technology as a key driver of sustainable development.
