At the 7th Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which is taking place in Kazakhstan, Qatar is represented by the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs.
The Congress will concentrate on the part played by traditional and international religious leaders in the post-Covid-19 period’s spiritual and social growth of humanity.
Director of the Islamic Affairs Department Khalid bin Shaheen al-Ghanim leads the delegation from Qatar to the Congress, which also includes more than 100 delegations from 60 different nations.
Based on the role of religions in fostering spiritual and moral values in the modern world, the role of education and religious enlightenment in enhancing respectful coexistence of religions and cultures, justice, and peace, as well as the contribution of religious leaders and politicians to promoting global inter-religious understanding, the leaders of religions participating in the Congress seek to support the spiritual and social development of humanity in the post-pandemic period.
The Congress, a singular event organized by Kazakhstan once every three years, is the name of the main discussion forum on topics linked to creating a bridge of understanding between religions.
Based on the conviction that religious leaders have a significant role in spreading the voice of moderation to promote discussion and fight religious intolerance, this affirms Kazakhstan’s leading position in supporting peace, tolerance, and dialogue initiatives between religious leaders and followers.
Qatar’s participation in the Congress is in keeping with the civilized and innovative role it plays in promoting harmony, moderation, and tolerance throughout the world and building bridges of respect and understanding between people of all faiths, nationalities, and ethnicities.
