Remarks by H.E. Al-Nasser at the Opening Ceremony of the 4th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue

Let’s make sure that we achieve these new goals together. Let’s capitalize on our achievements by reinforcing cultural bridges and building on our cultural and religious commonalities. More than ever today, we all understand that the 2030 agenda must include all people, especially youth and women, embracing cultural and religious diversity. No one must be left behind. It is crucial to remember that human progress will only be secured through better interaction between peoples, societies, religions and cultures. In this regard, political leadership plays an important role, particularly at this critical time where some political leaders use xenophobic rhetoric and people’s fears to divide societies and advance their own political objectives. I urge on political leaders to avoid hate speech that ultimately contribute to that plays into the hands of those extremists who seek to undermine our values and the fabric of our societies.
