The forum aims to advance the implementation of the Arab Strategy for Youth, Peace and Security, strengthen Arab and international partnerships, and expand youth participation in decision-making and efforts to build safe and stable societies.
Speaking during the forum’s opening session, Al-Adwan stressed the importance of strengthening joint Arab action and coordinating efforts to translate the Executive Plan of the Arab Strategy for Youth, Peace and Security (2023–2028) into practical and sustainable programmes and initiatives.
He noted that such efforts would enhance youth participation in peacebuilding and reinforce their role as active partners in promoting community security and stability.
Al-Adwan highlighted the efforts led by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, which contributed to the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security in 2015. He described the resolution as a pivotal milestone in recognising the role of young people in peacebuilding and security at both national and international levels.
He also pointed to Jordan's subsequent leadership in developing the Arab Strategy for Youth, Peace and Security, which was launched in Amman in 2024.
The strategy reflects Jordan's commitment to establishing a common Arab framework that promotes youth participation in decision-making and supports their contributions to conflict prevention, peacebuilding and social cohesion.
At the national level, Al-Adwan referred to Jordan's National Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2250, which provides a framework for coordinating the efforts of national institutions and partners and developing institutional mechanisms to ensure youth participation across various peace and security-related areas.
He emphasised the importance of building on the achievements of the Amman Framework for institutionalising the Arab Strategy and National Plans on Youth, Peace and Security, while advancing Arab cooperation from the development of strategies and frameworks towards effective implementation.
This, he said, requires exchanging national expertise and experiences, aligning priorities, and strengthening coordination among governments, youth institutions, civil society organisations and international partners.
Al-Adwan also praised Qatar, represented by its Ministry of Sports and Youth, for hosting the forum and providing a platform for Arab dialogue, knowledge exchange and partnership-building.
He said the initiative reflects Qatar's commitment to supporting joint Arab youth efforts and creates broader opportunities for young people across the region to contribute to developing shared visions and recommendations on peace and security.
Al-Adwan is accompanied by Director of Youth Directorates Anas Al-Qudah and Director of Aqaba Youth City Ahmad Al-Hassan.
A Jordanian youth delegation is also participating in the forum, comprising representatives of the Ministry of Youth's Youth, Peace and Security Unit and members of the Jordanian National Coalition for the Implementation of Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security.
The delegation is taking part in dialogue sessions and discussions, exchanging experiences with Arab youth delegations, exploring regional initiatives in peacebuilding, security and social cohesion, and contributing to the development of solutions and policies that promote security and stability.
The participation reflects the Ministry of Youth's commitment to expanding the presence of Jordanian youth at Arab and international platforms and empowering them to contribute to dialogue and decision-making.
The delegation includes Maher Dudin, Rawan Al-Muaqaba, Maysam Al-Manaseer, Saad Al-Nawasreh and Rifaat Al-Freihat.
