CAIRO – 9 November 2017: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said at the end of the Model United Nations (MUN) closing session at the World Youth Forum (WYF) that the convention on terrorism passed by participants would be reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be presented to the United Nations.

The president described some recommendations in the convention as “dreamy” but asserted that “the symbolism of presenting that convention on terrorism by world youth is quite great.” He added that the existence of international bodies contributed to decreasing the bullying by superpowers of other states.

The convention passed by general consent included recommendations on combating terrorism by fighting poverty, promoting education, and terminating its funding channels. In addition, participants emphasized eliminating illegal arms trafficking as well as reinforcing counter-terrorism tools and systems in different states.

The MUN closing session simulating the Security Council, attended by the French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, took place on the last day of the forum on Thursday.

Participants, summing up to 77 and half of whom are foreigners, discussed threats to global peace and security, illegal migration, and cybercrime for three days starting Tuesday through Thursday. After the closing session, they were handed certificates by the president for their contributions.

The countries represented in MUN at the World Youth Forum are Egypt, France, Senegal, the United Kingdom, Ethiopia, China, Uruguay, Japan, Bolivia, Germany, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Italy, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Uganda, United States, and Russia.
