Córdoba (28/6/2010) In response to Alliance of Civilizations’ call for greater intercultural dialogue, and to support the culture of peace, an agreement was signed by Dr. Aly El-Samman, president of the Union for Intercultural and Interfaith Dialogue and Peace Education (ADIC); Mr. Enrique Gaspar, president of Nexos Alianza, the media arm of the Foundation for Alliance of Civilizations (part of the United Nations); and Mr. Manuel Palacios Sanchet, president of Parque International de la Paz Euromediterraneo.

Presented by the deputy speaker of the Parliament of Córdoba, Mr. Fernando Expósito, the agreement provides for the three signatories to promote the spirit of moderation and centrism. This spirit has been enjoyed in Egypt and in Córdoba, both places known for their historical models of coexistence, tolerance and culture of peace.
