Zarqa, July 13 (Petra) -- A delegation from the Jordanian Parliament Children arrived on Monday in the Emirati city of Sharjah to participate in the fourth and final session of the Arab Parliament for the Child.

The session, convened under the theme "The Role of the Family in Building a Safe Environment for the Child," features youth delegations representing 15 Arab nations.

Mohammad Al-Zoubi, head of the permanent office of the Jordanian Parliament Children and Director of the Zarqa Culture Directorate, told Petra that the session will focus on the pivotal role of families in providing stable and safe home environments. He noted that the forum aims to protect children's rights, encourage balanced growth, and foster values of dialogue, belonging, and social responsibility across the Arab world.

Al-Zoubi added that the Jordanian representatives will share the perspectives and aspirations of Jordan's youth, drawing on the parliamentary awareness, dialogue skills, and leadership training they acquired domestically. He emphasized that the event offers a platform to prepare promising young leaders and cultivate the capabilities of the rising generation.

The participation of the Jordanian youth highlights the kingdom’s commitment to empowering children and involving them directly in discussions that affect their present and future, Al-Zoubi said, describing the delegation's presence as an active contribution to regional child advocacy rather than a mere formality.

The Arab Parliament for the Child, headquartered in Sharjah, is a joint Arab initiative designed to promote civic participation, public speaking, and leadership skills among children while providing a regional platform for cultural exchange and youth advocacy.
