The Kingdom is represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, at this event, which is a soft power platform designed to prevent conflict, encourage dialogue and build bridges of understanding between cultures and religions.
This global Forum, whose 9th edition was held in Fez in November 2022, is attended by HM the King’s Advisor, André Azoulay. It provides an important opportunity for exchange, dialogue and mutual understanding according to the values and principles of tolerance, diversity and mutual respect, which Morocco upholds as part of its political, economic and cultural openness.
The 10th Forum, which takes place over three days, brings together high-level personalities including the Portuguese President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the King of Spain, Felipe VI, the Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, the High Representative of the UNAOC, Miguel Angel Moratinos, and the Portuguese Minister of State and Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel.
The debates at this international meeting, which will convene political leaders, representatives of international and regional organizations, religious leaders, as well as stakeholders from the private sector and civil society, will address the issues of peace, security and dialogue between cultures and religions, while exploring the role of AI and sports as levers for promoting world peace.
The event also provides an opportunity to take stock of the 20th anniversary of the Alliance of Civilizations, an initiative launched by Spain at the 59th session of the UN General Assembly. Participants will review the achievements of this initiative and discuss the concrete actions that the international community must take to counter threats to security and social peace, such as racism, discrimination and hatred.
The event’s program also includes a Global Conference on Safeguarding Religious Sites, in line with the 2021 UN General Assembly resolution on the promotion of a culture of peace and tolerance for the protection of religious sites, as well as a Youth Forum, which kicked off on the first day of the UNAOC Forum.
