Velayati, who is also a former foreign minister of Iran.
On the sidelines of the conference, Abbasi met delegations of various
countries – Canada, India, KSA, UK, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan,
Nepal, Maldives and Malaysia. He exchanged views of mutual interest
and delineated all activities and projects about the National Youth
Assembly.
While addressing the commission of Indian and Pakistani delegates,

image and repute of Islamic world which must unite and inculcate the
culture of tolerance.
He stressed the Muslims to focus on scientific and technical
education which was essential for development and progress in modern
times.
More than 1200 young people from 73 countries participated
