Sultan harps on peace, tolerance

The Sultan spoke through Wazirin Katsina, Dr. Sani Abubakar Lugga, at a conference with the theme “Love and Tolerance: Two Dynamics for Personal and Social Reform” organised by Ufuk Dialogue Foundation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution Conference and Fountain Magazine. A book, “Love and Tolerance,” authored by Fethullah Gulen was also presented at the event.

Participants including academicians, diplomats and media representatives were also in attendance.
The conference resolved that policy makers, intellectuals and civil societies should see personal reform as the step for the social reformation through peace, love and tolerance.
