'Inclusive Citizenship' has been selected as the theme of the event given its primary importance in strengthening global peace and protecting stability in different communities.

This year’s edition of the forum will be an ideal opportunity to showcase successful experience in adopting the concept of 'Inclusive Citizenship' and highlighting the positive role played by religion in addressing today's challenges.
