The Colombo Declaration will be unveiled at the concluding ceremony of the World Youth Conference 2014 today. The event will take place at the National Youth Services council premises in Maharagama. Discussions were held regarding the declaration for nearly 13 hours yesterday.
Government
representatives from 53 countries and youth community from 162 countries have
extended their contributions for the preparation of the final document.
Dr.
Palitha Kohona representing the External Affairs Ministry has functioned as the
chief moderator of the discussion. He was assisted by the Former Canadian high
commissioner Mrs. Chithrangani Wagishwara. The attention was focused on issues
such as gender equality, youth rights and development programmes centred on
youth as well as strengthening the youth community. Preliminary talks were
conducted in the past 3 days. The participant
representatives
have expressed their satisfaction through their twitter accounts over the
ability to prepare the declaration with the agreement of youth and government
delegates who attended the
conference.
Minister
Dallas Alahapperuma says that the Colombo Declaration will be a document that
would become the foundation for future global dialogues on youth. The tradition
maintained up to now at the World Youth summit was the participating states and
the youth groups issuing their statements separately. However, the summit of
this year has been able to issue a joint declaration.
The
colourful concluding ceremony will be commenced at 10.30 in the morning. The
Ministry of Youth Affairs and Skills development says several high ranking
overseas government representatives are scheduled to participate as chief
guests in this ceremony.
