14:45 Message by President Charles Michel at the event celebrating the first International Day of Human Fraternity
Today marks the very first International Day of Human Fraternity. I’m pleased to join this celebration, established by the United Nations, to promote tolerance, peaceful coexistence and interfaith dialogue between communities.
I’d like to thank His Holiness Pope Francis and His Eminence the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayyeb, for launching this initiative.
A day of human fraternity is needed today more than ever, as the world battles the COVID pandemic.
Today reminds us that the only way out of this global crisis is through greater fraternity – and solidarity – between peoples.
