The second seminar: Dialogue among civilizations
between Japan and the Islamic World
"Peace and Human Development"
September 11th and the subsequent war in Iraq underscored the importance of interactions among civilizations to achieve peaceful co-existence of people with different social and cultural backgrounds. In order to deepen understanding of other civilizations and nurture tolerance to others, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain organized last year the first seminar in Bahrain where the Japanese scholars and those in the Islamic world exchanged views as free individuals on Japan and the Islamic world. The second seminar, with "peace and human development" as the main theme, will examine factors of conflict and instability from an aspect of human development, and discuss how best the human society could address the era of crisis.
