Remarks by H.E. Al-Nasser at the Lisbon Forum: ‘Interconnecting People’

The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations works on inclusive approaches to address all these global challenges in the context of cultural and religious diversity, including violent extremism. Promoting intercultural and interreligious dialogue is key in achieving these goals. Dialogue breeds understanding and understanding dilutes fear of the other. Just 10 days ago , I had the privilege to participate in the Madrid Conference on the Victims of Ethnic & Religious Violence in the Middle East in which there was an acknowledgment that fostering inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue is a crucial tool to fight radicalization and violent extremism.
