PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says government is committed to empowering young people. She made this statement in her message to observe UN World Youth Skills Day.

Persad-Bissessar noted the theme of this year's event is youth empowerment through artificial intelligence (AI) and digital skills.

She said since assuming office two months ago, the UNC has begun to implement this initiative "by establishing the Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence to drive innovation across governance, education, and the economy."
