The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has called on all countries represented within the United Nations to fully support the second forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.
The event is being hosted by Turkey and will take place in Istanbul between the 6th and 7th of April.
Speaking during a UN Security Council meeting, Mr Ban announced that he would be attended the Alliance of Civilizations forum.
He said the forum carried great importance as it will try to breach 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.
Explaining that the forum was against the understanding that there will be clashes between cultures, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon said the forum was designed to overcome all the biases and prejudices.
Many heads of state, heads of international organizations, corporations, the media, civil society and youth groups are expected to attend this year’s forum.
