World democratic youths meet in Lebanon

Beirut, Dec 18 (Prensa Latina) With the objective of reviving political participation, the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) met in Lebanon on Sunday after a pause imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The General Assembly brought together delegates from around 35 countries to share and analyze strategies to resume the path of struggle in the revolutionary, progressive and social justice processes.

For the second time in the Lebanese capital, the meeting was attended by the vice presidency of the WFDY, representatives of national federations, and members of the communist youths.

The Organizing Committee told Prensa Latina that young people from Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, including speakers from Brazil, Cuba, and Venezuela, attended the meeting.

Under the leftist and anti-imperialist ideals, the meeting reaffirmed the need to strengthen the collective struggle for a better world, said Sukaina Basma, Assistant Secretary General of the Democratic Youth of Lebanon.

Seminars, keynote speeches, solidarity activities, and a joint action plan were at the center of the program of the General Assembly of Democratic Youths that takes place every four years.

Founded in Budapest on November 10, 1945, and in opposition to fascism during World War II, the WFDY adopted a commitment to just and lasting peace and promoting friendship among young people worldwide.
