Azerbaijan-funded program graduates honoured with diplomas in Rabat ceremony

A ceremony was held in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, to award diplomas to graduates of the inaugural “Young Professionals” program, implemented by ISESCO with financial backing from the Azerbaijani government.

Azerbaijani Ambassador to Morocco, Nazim Samadov, addressed attendees, emphasizing the pride the Islamic world can take in nurturing well-trained professionals, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

“ISESCO equips the Islamic world with skilled individuals who will contribute across various sectors, and I am confident they will make a positive impact in their home countries or wherever they may go,” Samadov stated.

He highlighted that over the past two years, young professionals from ISESCO member countries have had the opportunity to join one of the most prestigious international organizations in the Islamic world, which excels in education, culture, and science.

“I believe that no matter where they venture in life or which fields they choose to pursue, they will achieve success,” he added.

ISESCO Director General Salim Al-Malik praised the youth as the greatest asset of any nation, noting that those who recognize this and engage young people in governance “hold the keys to both the present and the future.” He also announced the opening of applications for the second round of the Young Professionals Program.
