The inaugural function of this international forum will be held at the Magam Ruhunupura International Conference Hall in Hambanthota on the 7th of May under the patronage of Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapakse. More than 1500 youth representatives from 196 countries will attend this conference.
This is the 1st time that a youth conference of this magnitude is being held in an Asian country. 152 youth from Sri Lanka will participate in this conference. Minister Dallas Alahapperuma and parliamentarian Namal Rajapakse will function as the co-chairmen of this conference.
United Nations World Youth Conference (WYC) 2014 which will take place
in Sri Lanka in May 2014. It will be the first time the conference is held in
an Asian country.
Sri Lanka is preparing to host the World Conference on Youth WYC in
2014. The goal of this conference is to mainstream youth in the global
development agenda - both in realizing the MDGs, and in the post-2015
development framework.
The Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon has officially
informed Minister of Youth Affairs and Skills Development Dullas Alahapperuma
that the proposed World Youth Conference to be conducted in 2014, will be held
in Sri Lanka with the full support of the UN. This was said at the 67th UN
General Assembly, in New York.
It is believed that the initiatives taken by the Government under the
guidance of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, to institute democracy and to
establish sustainable peace between nations with the involvement of the youth,
would have aided the decision to hold the World Youth Conference in Sri Lanka.
It is believed that the World Youth Conference 2014 will increase the
recognition of Sri Lankan youth internationally, and would trigger the
enlightenment of the Sri Lankan youth, locally.

Sri Lanka has mainstreamed youth
in its post 2015 development agenda and is at the forefront of advocating
internationally the interests of youth said President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Sri Lanka will host the Commonwealth Youth Forum 2013 this November and
the UN World Conference on Youth in May 2014. I take this opportunity to extend
an invitation to you all to join in celebrating youth at the World Conference.
I also call upon the United Nations to declare an International Skills Day as
recognition of skills development of youth, paving the way for reduced poverty.
An innovative development has been the establishment of a Youth Parliament to
sharpen the awareness of democracy and skills of the new generation and prepare
them to assume leadership said President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The President asked the youth representatives what challenges they were
facing to which they responded by indicating that actually mobilizing young
people and governments was a difficult task.
