Casablanca – The Guinea-Bissau branch of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Oulema launched on Saturday a scientific forum under the theme of “Peaceful Coexistence: The Path to Cultural and Social Understanding Between Religions.”
Initiated by Morocco, the forum is an opportunity to strengthen human bonds and inter-people collaboration in order to oppose all forms of violence and hatred, as well as to solidify the culture of coexistence and achieve global peace, reported the Moroccan News Agency (MAP).
The Bissau symposium is organized in accordance with the goals of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Oulema (FM6OA), whose mission entails strengthening cooperation between Moroccan scholars and scholars from other African countries.
Another core mission of the Foundation is to protect religion from distortion and extremism and to put tolerant Islamic values at the service of stability and development throughout Africa.
The scientific forum’s activity will last two days, during which attendees will address five axes. The first axis is related to the legitimate rooting of the concept of coexistence and religious pluralism. The second concerns the role of religious discourse in promoting peaceful coexistence among the components of African society.
The third axis is focused on the role of civilized acquaintance in promoting followers of social and cultural harmony between religions. The fourth explores the media’s contribution to the development of religious and patriotic feelings and education on the common human. And the last one focuses on prospects for peaceful coexistence in African countries in light of contemporary challenges.
The inaugural ceremony took place in the presence of a balance of religious, political, and diplomatic figures from the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, as well as the mother institution’s delegation of university academics, specialists, and media professionals.
