I would like to offer special thanks to his Majesty, King Abdullah II of Jordan for his initiative for interfaith harmony and for the successful adoption of Resolution 65/5 in November 2010, proclaiming the first week of February every year the World Interfaith Harmony Week at the United Nations.
Let me also commend Member States for adopting the resolution that proposed World Interfaith Harmony Week as an annual event. In doing so, Member States underscored the centrality of interfaith cooperation as an important condition for building a culture of peace.
Billions of people around the world identify themselves as believers. One is hard-pressed to find any society, culture, or civilization which has not been shaped to some extent by religious values and practices. In today’s interconnected yet divided world, it is more important than ever to draw on religion’s potential in the promotion of peace and stability.
