He noted that Sharjah will host young Arab parliamentarians this July, who will gather at the Sharjah Consultative Council to voice their visions, concerns and issues from their communities through a parliamentary approach based on dialogue and conscious expression. Recently, the APC took part in the 17th National Conference on Children's Rights in Morocco. Al Barout delivered a speech during the opening session. He conveyed greetings from the Parliament's headquarters in Sharjah and praised Morocco's leadership, under King Mohammed VI, for its commitment to advancing child rights amidst modern social and technological shifts. Al Barout emphasised that today's children are more aware and engaged than ever, enabling them to be active partners in sustainable development rather than passive recipients.
