As part of its continued efforts to strengthen Afro-Arab youth partnerships and deepen institutional engagement, the Afro-Arab Youth Council (AAYC) conducted a courtesy visit to the Embassy of the Republic of the Sudan in Harare.

The delegation was received by H.E. Ambassador Ibrahim Elsheikh Abdelrazig, Ambassador of the Republic of the Sudan to Zimbabwe, and H.E. Deputy Ambassador Wadah Seddig.

Key Areas of Discussion

The meeting addressed avenues of cooperation in:

Youth development

Cultural exchange

Entrepreneurship

Peacebuilding

Reinforcing the shared commitment to empowering young people across Africa and the Arab world.

Continued Institutional Support

During the discussion, appreciation was expressed for the continued support of the Government of Sudan to the Afro-Arab Youth Council — particularly the ongoing hosting of the AAYC Headquarters in Sudan and its sustained backing of youth programmes and strategic initiatives. This institutional support remains a cornerstone for advancing Afro-Arab youth cooperation and strengthening the Council’s continental role.

2026 Programme Outlook & Roadmap

Mr. Misheck Gondo provided a comprehensive briefing on the Council’s upcoming activities and projects scheduled for 2026 in Sudan and across other African and Arab countries, highlighting key programmes focused on youth leadership, innovation, dialogue, and sustainable development.

Together for empowered youth, stronger Afro-Arab partnerships, and sustainable peace.
