Islamic Unity Conference aims to expand Muslim cooperation
The secretary general of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought said the International Islamic Unity Conference aims to contribute to the expansion of cooperation among Muslim countries.
Hamid Shahriari, speaking at a press conference ahead of the 37th Islamic Unity Conference, said Muslim experts and religious scholars will exchange views on the Islamic values recommended in the holy book of Muslims, the Qur’an, during the event. He said that the incumbent Iranian government has tried to help the Islamic countries to further cooperate in different fields, which, in turn, is expected to boost security across the Muslim world.
He said that the agreements reached by the Islamic Republic of Iran have brought hopes for moving towards a unified Islamic nation.
Shahriari said that the Islamic Republic is pursuing values that counter Western liberalism. Among such values, he added, are family values, which have been targeted by the enemies.
He also provided the reporters with details about the 37th Islamic Unity Conference, which is scheduled to be held October 1–3. At least 110 people from foreign countries will participate in the event.
