11月27日上午，在2021亚洲青年领袖论坛开幕式上，卡塔尔皇室成员、知名艺术家、卡塔拉文化村（Katara Cultural Village）研究总监娜迪雅（Nadia Abdulrahman Al-Mudahka）发表了视频讲话。

原文如下:

我是娜迪雅，一位视觉艺术家，拥有艺术哲学博士学位，现任卡塔拉文化村（Katara Cultural Village）的研究总监。

马是伊斯兰文明的标志, 对于阿拉伯半岛的国家意义独特，它象征着忠诚和力量。所以我创作了很多关于马的艺术作品，还在北京故宫举办过以马为主题的画展。

作为一位视觉艺术家，我见证了卡塔尔各个领域的巨大发展，因此也尝试从各个美学角度展现卡塔尔的历史及当代特色，这些卓越之处让我们倍感自豪。

文化和艺术是当今世界的通用语言。作为推动亚洲视觉艺术发展的一份子，我们应当用这种包容性语言，来发展我们的国家及加强共性。

亚洲与世界其他地区一样，也需要青年一代的力量。他们必须抓住在教育和培训方面的机会和优势去发展自己的国家，为国家建设及人民福祉做出贡献。青年是亚洲发展的最强推动力，青年发展的速度就是亚洲发展的速度。亚洲青年艺术家的独特表达丰富了艺术创新形式，推动了艺术的发展。青年更容易结下友谊，而这些友谊日后会成长为连接亚洲各国的桥梁，这就是青年和艺术的力量。

亚洲大陆各领域发展显著, 而且大型项目无疑将有助于促进亚洲各国人民之间的紧密合作。当然，艺术也将成为这些领域的重心, 在亚洲的发展中发挥重要作用。

我曾有幸三次到访中国, 并在那里举办了艺术展，参加了论坛。我认为促进卡塔尔与中国的双边合作是两国所有艺术家的使命，而且也会有很多机会可以促进这种合作。

中国是一个伟大的民族，有着辉煌的文明及逐步稳固的世界强国地位，见证了经济的发展。在这一过程中，中国无疑为增进亚洲国家与世界各国的良好关系作出了贡献。我们希望中国可以继续推动亚洲各国间的联合行动。

亚洲青年领袖论坛可能会面临一些未知的挑战，但我相信亚洲青年领袖论坛能够克服这些困难，为亚洲国家的复兴和人民的福祉而努力。

感谢亚洲青年领袖论坛提供本次机会。预祝此次论坛圆满成功！


On 27 November, Nadia Abdulrahman Al-Mudahka, Member of Qatar’s Royal Family, well-known artist and Director of Researches and Studies Department of Katara Cultural Village, delivered a keynote speech at the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.

The full speech is as below.

I am Dr. Nadia Abdulrahman Al-Mudahka, a visual artist holding a PhD in Art Philosophy, and I am currently working as a Director of Researches and Studies Department of Katara Cultural Village.

Horse is a symbol of our Islamic civilization and is unique to us in the Arabian Peninsula. It symbolizes loyalty and power, so I have done a lot of art on horse, including an art exhibition at the Forbidden City in Beijing.

As a visual artist, I have experienced the great development that my country Qatar has witnessed in various fields, and I have tried to focus on featuring beautiful aspects of our history and contemporary present, aspects that always make us feel proud and distinguished.

Culture and art is a universal language that the world needs today, so, as part of the Asian visual movement, we are called upon to speak in that umbrella language to develop our nations and promote our common denominators.

Like the rest of the world, The Asian continent needs the efforts of its young people. They are called upon to take advantage of the opportunities they have in education and training to develop their country and contribute to the achievement of development projects that benefit their people. Youth power is the strongest supporter of Asia's development. The pace of youth development is the pace of development in Asia. The unique artistic expressions of young artists can enrich the form of innovation and artistic development. It is easier for young people to make friends that may later become a link and bridge to Asian countries. This is the power of youth and the power of art.

There is a remarkable development in various fields in Asia. There are huge projects that will undoubtedly contribute to strengthening cooperation and ties between Asian peoples. Of course, art will be at the heart of these fields and plays an important role in the growth and development of the continent.

I have had the opportunity to visit China three times before, where I have organized art exhibitions and participated in forums there. I consider the promotion of bilateral cooperation between Qatar and China to be the duty of all artists from both States. There is a great deal of opportunities to promote such cooperation.

China is a great nation, a splendid civilization, an imposed world power, and witnessed an economic development in which it undoubtedly contributes to good relations with the various countries of the world, especially the Asian States. We hope that China will contribute to the promotion of joint Asian action.

Asia Youth Leaders Forum may come across unpredictable challenges ahead, but I am confident that you can overcome those challenges and work for the renaissance of the continent's nations and the well-being of its people.

Thank you AYLF for giving me this opportunity. We congratulate you for holding the forum, and we wish you good luck and success!
