He also asserted Egypt’s support of Palestinians in face of difficulties and challenges.
Sobhy said the council convened to discuss programs and projects to be implemented next year.
The project of “Arab youth excellence prize” was launched to honor the Arab youth who have distinguished initiatives, he said, adding that some Arab figures who contributed to the youth and sports movement will be honored as well.
Sobhy lauded the efforts of the Arab ministers of youth and sports and the cooperation between them to select projects that contribute to attracting Arab youth and encouraging them to present initiatives that serve their countries and maintain their belonging.
