Riyadh: Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa recently participated as a guest of honor in the Africa Youth Forum, held in Nairobi.
The forum aimed to provide young people with a platform to discuss their issues alongside prominent religious, political, and civic leaders.
