“Young people need to be prepared to be ‘world ready’ to ensure that they are able to meet the challenges and opportunities of this global age. Youth are Commonwealth’s best asset and they have the edge when it comes to initiating new ideas, knowledge and global networks since they have strong and constructive views about the development of their societies which is also their challenge.”
