Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, Director General of the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation of the Islamic World (ICESCO), received Prof. Michele Capasso, President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and Secretary General of the United States of the World: together, they explored the prospects for cooperation between ICESCO and the Fondazione in promoting the culture of peace and for the rooting of the values of coexistence and dialogue between civilisations.
During the meeting, held on Monday, 9 December 2024, at ICESCO's headquarters in Rabat, Dr. AlMalik reaffirmed ICESCO's commitment to promoting openness and the development of cooperative relations with all, noting that the Foundation's objectives intersect with the Organisation's vision and strategic orientations, as both firmly believe in the importance of peace and the need to anchor its principles through education, culture and science.
He also said that ICESCO implements a number of peacebuilding initiatives and programmes, in particular ICESCO's Peace and Security Leadership Training Programme (LTIPS) and the Peace 360° initiative.
For his part, Prof. Capasso praised ICESCO's roles and efforts in its areas of expertise, reiterating his appreciation for Dr. AlMalik's leadership style that has boosted the work and achievements of the Organisation over the past five years. He said that Dr. AlMalik's efforts prompted the Foundation and the United States of the World to present him with the Mediterranean Award Medal of Honour for 2024, in a grand ceremony held at the Foundation's headquarters in Naples.
At the end of the meeting, the Organisation decided to examine a series of initiatives and programmes proposed by the Foundation to assess the prospects for co-organisation.
