CAIRO, June 4 (KUNA) -- Egyptian Al-Azhar Mosque and University stressed
the importance on Thursday that the speech by U.S. President Barack Obama to
the Islamic world today lays the foundation for new relations and encourages
dialogue between Islam and the west.
The message of respect to the Islamic world which Obama emphasized in his
speech would contribute in correcting misunderstandings and will encourage
dialogue between both sides, Al-Azhar President Dr. Ahmad Al-Tayib said in a
press release.
Al-Tayib added that the call by U.S. president to bring just and complete
peace to the region would clear the path for constructive dialogue on culture
and civilizations. (end)
