Al-Misifi pointed out that the Ministry of Sports and Youth is participating in the Keshta exhibition in a special pavilion of the Qatar Youth Council.

This pavilion aims to introduce visitors to the exhibition about the role of the Qatar Youth Council, which is a link between youth and the Ministry and is concerned with conveying their voices to the concerned authorities.

The Director of the Department of Youth Affairs added, "The importance of the exhibition comes because it is linked to the Qatari culture and heritage, in addition to that it serves the residents of the northern regions and the campers and wilderness enthusiasts through the presence of all camping supplies in one place."

On the sidelines of the exhibition, activities and entertainment programs for children will be held in the outdoor arena, in addition to distributing free agricultural seedlings of trees and plants to visitors of the exhibition after registering at the Ministry's pavilion at the exhibition.
