The New Fadoul Alliance held a consultative meeting in Washington, DC, chaired by His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, President of the Abu Dhabi Peace Forum, and in the presence of the Alliance’s Board of Directors and a number of representatives of elite organizations and institutions working in the field of peace and tolerance in America, in addition to special assistance to the US President for Legal Affairs.
The participants in the consultative meeting praised the generous patronage of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, noting the vision of the UAE in promoting peaceful coexistence between religions and cultures around the world.
At the outset of the session, Ibn Bayh welcomed the attendees, explaining that this meeting came to discuss the new alliance of curiosity, and pointed out that this charter was drafted by representatives of multiple religions and cultures, signed by hundreds of leaders and religious and non-religious organizations, and was launched from Abu Dhabi, the capital of tolerance and peace.
He said that this meeting comes after the alliance was registered as a non-profit organization in the United States of America, so that the Washington office would be the legal framework through which the Al-Fadoul Alliance works in introducing its charter, activating its provisions, and achieving its goals in spreading the values of peace, coexistence and tolerance in the world.
He added: In the past four years, we have worked to discuss the Al-Fudoul Alliance through our conferences in Washington and Abu Dhabi, and many religious leaders, especially Jews, Christians, Muslims and other religions, legal scholars and intellectuals, have contributed to the establishment of this alliance and the drafting of its charter.
His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah indicated that today’s meeting comes in the midst of an international situation that increases the level of challenges facing humanity, considering that all of these challenges emphasize the importance of the Pact of Curiosity and the urgent need for it more than ever.
And he indicated that humanity today is in dire need of an alliance of curiosity and virtues, an alliance that crosses ethnicities and sects, and crosses traditions and cultures, an alliance that builds on the great heritage of religions, and the lofty product of humanity throughout the ages, an alliance that seeks the good for all, and wants to consolidate peace on earth, and spread hope in hearts And tranquility in the soul, stressing that he sees the new alliance of curiosity as a model for this alliance that he described, and a picture of the example he seeks.
He explained that this institution, which will start work from Washington, will contribute to activating the pact of the Alliance of Curiosity and moving it from the field of theory to the reality of embodiment through its various activities and creative programs, starting with the definition of this alliance and its charter and ending with contributing to the achievement of its goals in spreading the values of peace in the world.
The attendees listened to interventions that included suggestions and ideas on activating the Al-Fudoul Alliance and the prospects for cooperation and partnerships that should be worked on to reach a greater impact for the various peace and coexistence efforts.
