Saudi Arabia`s statement at session of UN General Assembly delivered 7 New York
For these noble purposes, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques
launched his sincere universal appeal for the pursuit of dialogue
among all the followers of the religions and cultures constituting
the heritage of mankind. This initiative adopted a political, as well
as socio-cultural, twin-track approach. On the political track, the
Extraordinary Islamic Summit convened in Makkah by the Custodian of
the Two Holy Mosques reaffirmed the consensus of all Islamic
countries in rejecting violence, extremism and terrorism, and
promoting the values of dialogue, tolerance and mutual respect. The
General Assembly of the United Nations subsequently held a high-level
meeting during its previous session with a view to securing the
broadest possible political support at the highest level for all
initiatives seeking to promote dialogue, mutual understanding and a
culture of peace.
On the socio-cultural track, Muslim religious scholars representing
all Islamic denominations and schools of thought also met at Makkah
where they affirmed the true nature of the Islamic religion and its
message based on tolerance, dialogue and peace. This was followed, on
16-18 July 2007, by the World Conference on Dialogue at Madrid which
was attended by representatives of all the major religions. Diligent
endeavours are currently being made to establish a global centre for
dialogue, comprising representatives of all main religions, which
will operate in an independent manner totally free from any political
interference.
Mr. President,
It has become evident that the environmental, economic, social and
financial issues affect us all and no State can face them alone or
single-handedly avoid the dangers and challenges that they pose. No
region anywhere in the world has been unaffected by the implications
of the US credit crisis, which has had an impact on the international
financial system, thereby undermining the world economy and
confronting it with serious challenges that have entailed a slow-down
in global real growth rates.
