CAIRO – 6 November 2017: “It is absolutely an incredible forum enabling us to meet many different people from all over the world,” said one of the international guests at the World Youth Forum (WYF), Laila from Los Angeles.

The (WYF) kicked off on Saturday in Sharm El-Sheikh, South Sinai, under the auspices of President Sisi.

Egypt’s first international youth event is set to run until November 10, bringing together 3,000 youths represented by 60 delegations from around the world.
