The 95 organisations represent the whole world. ZICOSU was also elected into the General Council. The National Executive of the Youth League will sit down to decide with help from the External Affairs of the Youth League who will represent the Party. This opportunity will allow us to mix with young people from all over the world who also have the same interests.”The General Council meets from time to time to discuss and advance issues to do with the different member organisations, ensure their voice is heard and that investment opportunities are attained.
