------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is the most important international initiative aimed at advancing intercultural understanding. In this respect, the Forum, carrying the purpose of forging partnerships in order to build substantive interaction between diverse communities and to strengthen trust and reconciliation across cultures, will convene a powerful network of global leaders, heads of international organizations, corporations, the media, civil society and youth groups. The UNAOC Forum seeks to address some of the ongoing tensions and divides across cultures and religions, and to examine some of the broader challenges of good governance of cultural diversity in an age of rapidly accelerating globalization. The conference will be hosted by the government of Turkey, and follows the success of the inaugural Alliance Forum which was held in Madrid, Spain, in January 2008. This year's event will feature the participation of His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Prime Minister of Turkey, His Excellency José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, President of the Government of Spain, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General's High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations, President Jorge Sampaio, and other high-ranking political leaders. quick links : [unaoc.org] [Forum website] [About] [Registration] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Task Force for the AoC İstanbul Forum at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs : Directorate General for Multilateral Political Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey Dr. Sadık Ahmet Cad.
