Saudi Minister of Culture and Information addresses Int'l

Conference on dialogue among civilizations in Tunisia 2
Al-Gairawan, Tunisia

He recalled that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has confirmed
that despite the scientific progress the world of today witnesses an
unprecedented spread of crimes, terrorism, family disintegration,
drug addiction and racial disputes.
He cited the Monarch's phrase that this is a result of spiritual
vacuum the people are lacking and that they could not get rid of it
without coming to dialogue among regions and civilizations.
Dr. Khoja said the call for dialogue among civilizations and
cultural diversification is not an intellectual luxury or
controversial debate between a culture and another or civilization
and another.
Dialogue among civilizations and call for cultural diversification
embody a call for freedom, justice and peace, he stated.
