On November 20, 2018, the Woman Center for Development and Culture Albania organized a seminar on “Tolerance and Peace.” The honorary guest was Mrs. SamiaBibars, Director of the Inter-Civilizations Dialogue Department and League of Arab States.

Mrs.Samia Bibars welcomed the group and held a short presentation about this regional organization, which was founded in 1945 to increase the collaboration of the 22 member states regarding economics, communication, culture, nationality, social welfare, and health by supporting their common interests. She explained that the organization follows its charter, which established the headquarters of the Arab League in Cairo and created a General Secretariat, as well as rules like biannual meetings, councils consisting of all heads of state, sub-councils, and voting rules, among others.

Mrs. Bibars also underlined that tolerance and peace are key words in today’s international relations. Without coexistence, without peace, and without tolerance, neither the welfare nor the wealth of developed nations are guaranteed. Risks threaten both rich and poor countries, both large and small ones, and both powerful and weak countries.

The meeting lasted about 2 hours, during which students asked many questions about the topic and other information related to the experience of Mrs. Bibars.
