“Protecting and Preserving cultural heritage of different communities is a powerful tool in promoting peace, solidarity, social stability. Morocco has a longstanding tradition of protecting its cultural and religious heritage: His Majesty launched wide-ranging efforts of renovation of mosques and rehabilitation of Jewish cemeteries and synagogues as well as opening museums.”
“We are fortunate to have such good friends and partners in Morocco who have been committed to preserving the cultural heritage of religious communities. This conference is an opportunity for others to learn from the Moroccan experience of religious and cultural diversity, particularly in the protection of the rich cultural heritage of Morocco’s religious communities-Muslim, Christian, and Jewish.”
“The preservation of cultural heritage is not a luxury—it is essential. If we lose that heritage in all its diversity, we lose our collective memory and identity. This conference is a first step, following the Potomac Declaration, towards working together as a family to ensure that does not happen.”
