Over 57 speakers will participate in Global Human Fraternity Document in Abu Dhabi.

Trends Research and Advisory, in collaboration with the University Platform for the Study of Islam, is set to host the fourth international conference of "PLURIEL."

This significant event will take place in partnership with the Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Coexistence" and the International Day of Human Fraternity.

Commencing on 4th February, the four-day conference, themed "Islam and Human Fraternity: The Impact and Prospects of the Abu Dhabi Declaration on Coexistence," will be held at the headquarters of Trends Research and Advisory in Abu Dhabi.

The conference will be opened by Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and will be addressed in the main session by His Eminence Dr. Ahmed El-Tayeb the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, and His Holiness Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church.

With over 57 speakers and chairpersons from 40 universities and research institutions across four continents, the conference aims to facilitate enriching discussions through 12 sessions and five insightful lectures.

It provides a unique opportunity to assess the impact of the Document on Human Fraternity, signed by Dr. Ahmed El-Tayeb and Pope Francis five years ago, on global coexistence between Muslims and Christians and explore its future prospects.

Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali, CEO of Trends Research and Advisory, said that the conference will explore the impact of the Document, and analyse the transformations necessary to promote global human fraternity.

The discussions will highlight three main axes: the first is the socio-legal axis, focusing on human citizenship in multicultural and multireligious societies; the second is the geopolitical axis, examining the role of religion and ideology in current conflicts; and the religious and theological axis, exploring how the concept of fraternity, inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity, can be expanded to encompass all of humanity.
