HE Dr. Mohamed Bechari, Secretary-General of The World Muslim Communities Council, received Professor Damir Mukhetdinov, first deputy chairman of the Religious Board of Muslims of the Russian Federation and Head of the Centre for Islamic Studies at St Petersburg University, Russia, at the headquarters of the Religious Administration of Russian Muslims in the Russian capital, Moscow, on Wednesday, 14 December. Mr Hassan Al-Marzouqi, TWMCC Assistant Secretary-General, attended the meeting.
During the meeting, the two parties discussed mechanisms for enhancing cooperation to serve Muslim societies, discuss coexistence issues, and emphasize the national state, citizenship, and integration. They also discussed the localization of the concepts of religious, ethnic, and cultural pluralism, in a way that achieves cooperation and solidarity for the benefit of nations worldwide.
The two parties also tackled ways to formulate scientific, academic, and rehabilitation programs to confront the ideology of extremism and isolationism, through serious work to achieve contemporary jurisprudence within the tolerant Islamic Sharia, and in a manner consistent with the conditions of the members of Muslim communities in the countries in which they live. They also weighed up enhancing the positive role of Muslims worldwide.
