Al-Rahi, Daryan in Vienna for Dialogue Conference Held by King Abdullah Center
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan and representatives of Lebanon's religious communities arrived Sunday in Vienna to take part in a religious dialogue conference.
The conference is organized by the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID), an inter-governmental organization that promotes inter-religious dialogue to prevent and resolve conflict.
KAICIID was opened in 2012 by Saudi Arabia, Austria and Spain, following an initiative by the late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The Holy See is a founding observer.
The Lebanese participants were welcomed at the airport by Lebanese Ambassador Ibrahim Assaf, Lebanese consul Jean Mrad, general president of the Congregation of the Lebanese Maronite Missionaries Father Malek Bou Tanous, the head of the Maronite Mission of Vienna Father Michel Harb, a number of Lebanese expats and organizers from the conference.
