During a meeting with the Baraka Movement, a group promoting non-competitive physical activity, the Minister highlighted the Ministry's commitment to providing diverse programs that encourage physical well-being.

Minister Tawfiqi stressed the Ministry's belief in building a "healthy Bahraini youth" as a foundation for a progressive society.

She underscored the need to spread awareness about physical activity and its role in fostering innovation, productivity, and creativity amongst young people.
