Minister of Information, Gospel Kazako said this engagement was very important to the development of this country and to the youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis engagement is very important because it involves the young people, you must know that the future is about young people we have already lost several generations and as government we are not prepared to lose another generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo such conversation at UN level is very important because they inform what we are supposed to do and we are hoping that the conversation will give the youths motivation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kazako explained that the UN75 dialogue has come at the right time for the country to have a renewed optimism coupled with the zeal to change the mindset of people and reform structurally as bedrock for achieving the sustainable development goals.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the students, Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) President, Ephraim Ziwoya said this gathering was important to them because it has given them a platform to where they would voice out their concerns and they would find solutions.<\/p>\n
