The Saudi Pavilion at Cairo International Book Fair organized here last night in the presence of Saudi ambassador to Egypt Hisham Nazir, a seminar on the initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for dialogue among followers of religions and cultures. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Adel Al-Sheddi, the Secretary-General of the global program for introducing the Prophet of Mercy, said the initiative will have a positive impact as regards spreading the human values and enhancing understanding among the followers of religions and cultures. He noted that the initiative is directly linked with the principles of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah (the Prophet's teachings) which advocate cooperation and understanding among the people. Dr. Al-Sheddi said King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz, has presented the Initiative taking into account his role as regards serving the Two Holy Mosques, as well as the Kingdom's role in the service of the Arab and Muslim causes. The Kingdom, in line with its religious and political weight, is capable of shouldering its role as regards the initiative, he said.
