While thanking the President of ICYF for their effort and cooperation for the successful journey of the entire “Dhaka OIC Youth Capital 2020” programmes including the grand closing ceremony, he hoped that the recognition of laudable activities of the youths would encourage them to contribute more for the well-being of the society.
