Auckland:

New Zealand’s religious diversity leaders hosted His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, at the Forum on Citizenship and Shared Living held in Auckland, attended by representatives of various faiths and a number of prominent community figures from across New Zealand.

His Excellency underscored the importance of advancing preventive peace initiatives, fostering the values of understanding and cooperation, and cultivating shared awareness based on common principles, whether universal humanitarian values or national values that embrace the country’s diversity.

His Excellency also highlighted a number of initiatives launched by the MWL, foremost among them the “Building Bridges Between East and West” initiative at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and the “Protecting Global Youth from Extremist and Violent Ideologies” initiative at the United Nations Office in Geneva. He outlined the practical programs that followed these initiatives, as well as their measurable and tangible outcomes, while commending New Zealand society for its strong national cohesion and social solidarity.
