Addressing the president and bigwigs of the Youth Welfare Presidency and sports clubs recently, King Salman also reportedly said the government would continue to support youth and sports programs. "Sports competitions should be regulated according to our religious values and teachings that reject intolerance and dissension between citizens. These values also strengthen our allegiance and commitment to the nation." "The youth form the backbone of nations and play a fundamental role in their progress. We thank God for having young people who are ready to sacrifice their lives for their religion and nation." King Salman urged young Saudis to become ambassadors for their country, and stand with the leadership to confront enemies that he described as envious of the Kingdom's wealth. Prince Abdullah bin Musaed, head of the organization, said a comprehensive plan would be set out for young people to take part in programs that protect them from murderous Moslem ideologies. "We'll organize programs to inculcate moderate Islamic values in the minds of the youth, strengthen their allegiance to the Saudi leadership and nation and spend their time in constructive activities," the prince said. He said the organization has drafted a plan to improve the Kingdom's participation in regional and international sports events including the Olympic Games. "We have a strategy to prepare Olympic champions." |
