 The Sultan of Sokoto,

a symposium on Cultural Diplomacy and
Religion in the Vatican City of Rome, after being
nominated as one of the 11 speakers for the
event.
The symposium is to hold from March 31 to April

According to a statement released on Saturday
and signed by Mr Dickson Omoregie, Country
Representative of the Institute for Cultural
Diplomacy (ICD) in Abuja, the symposium
would explore the use and potential of inter-faith
dialogue to promote discourse with the ultimate
goal of global peace.
It said that the symposium would provide a
forum that would unite religious leaders with
politicians, diplomats and academics in order to
create cultural platforms.
“The symposium will have the theme,
“Promotion of World Peace through Inter-Faith
Dialogue’’.
“Speakers and delegates during the symposium
will include religious and spiritual leaders,
leading politicians and diplomats, senior
academics and other dignitaries from around the
world,” the institute said.

non-governmental organisation with
headquarters in Berlin, Germany.
