An international conference on dialogue among civilizations and cultural diversity wrapped up Monday (November 26th) in Fes, Morocco. The three-day meeting ended with a joint statement which stressed the attendees' view that dialogue requires "recognizing the right to be different, to live responsibly, to develop oneself and fight double standards in international relations," MAP reported. The participants drafted a series of recommendations and called on international and regional institutions "to consolidate and develop mechanisms of dialogue, and foster a culture of peace." Scholars, religious leaders and politicians from around the world took part in the event.
