Shura Council member Hala Ramzi Fayez stressed the importance of enhancing legislative and political awareness among young people, describing it as a key pillar in preparing an informed generation that understands its national role and contributes positively to Bahrain’s development journey.

She made the remarks during her participation in an interactive dialogue session titled “Meeting with a Shura Council Member” as part of the first edition of the “Junior Parliament” programme held at City of Youth 2030.
