Algeria intends to place its youth at the center of its future and development. That was the statement delivered Tuesday by Moustafa Hidaoui, Minister of Youth and President of the High Council for Youth (CSJ), from Russia, where he is attending the International Youth Festival 2026 in Yekaterinburg.
The gathering brings together around 10 000 envoys from 190 nations, from September 11 to 17. The delegate of the Algerian team detailed the key aspects of the domestic initiative regarding youth empowerment, according to an official press release.
The involvement of the Algerian group in this global summit occurs as part of advancing the national record concerning youth policy. During an address titled “The Algerian record on youth empowerment”, the minister highlighted the main obstacles this demographic encounters across the globe.
Moustafa Hidaoui then detailed the strategy implemented by Algeria to address them, built primarily on a unified network of support mechanisms designed to foster young talents and projects, alongside boosting their involvement in public affairs and national growth efforts.
The minister further emphasized the progress in public policy targeted at the younger generation, noting that the ongoing strategy, launched by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, treats young citizens as active development collaborators. This model relies heavily on backing startup ventures, creativity, and community service.
Mr. Hidaoui also underscored the momentum of the Algerian youth movement, both regionally and globally, along with the rising involvement of young adults in programs and forums dedicated to their causes.
