The UN Alliance of Civilizations is one of the most widely supported initiatives at the bloc, says the Turkish foreign minister, praising it as a 'timeless initiative'
Cavusoglu said that"hate crimes, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Christian sentiments, xenophobia, separatism, and extremism continue to increase everywhere."
Cavusoglu went on to say that "hate crimes, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Christian sentiments, xenophobia, separatism, and extremism continue to increase everywhere," adding that "it is difficult to undo all the misperceptions, prejudices and feelings of disconnection that we built over generations."
Cavusoglu further listed the "important steps" that the alliance has taken, including the UN General Assembly declaring March 15, the anniversary of the 2019 Christchurch attacks in New Zealand, as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. "There was a global relief. Last week, again together we succeeded in extending the agreement for another four months," Cavusoglu added.
The Turkish foreign minister also met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and discussed "the latest developments in Ukraine, Istanbul grain deal and regional developments including Syria and Libya," according to his social media post.
