Resalat Al-Salam Foundation Explores Cooperation with the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Cairo
Cairo — Monday, 8 June 2026
Mr. Mohamed Moataz, External Relations Coordinator at Resalat Al-Salam Foundation in Cairo, met today, Monday 8 June 2026, with Ms. Ainura, Diplomatic Officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Egypt, at the Embassy's headquarters in Cairo.
The meeting took place within the framework of Resalat Al-Salam Foundation's ongoing efforts — as an officially accredited UNESCO Partner NGO since May 2026, active in more than 46 countries — to expand its network of international partnerships with countries and organisations engaged in the fields of peace, interfaith dialogue, and cultural understanding among peoples.
During the meeting, Mr. Mohamed Moataz presented the Foundation's vision, objectives, and key international activities. He handed the Embassy's Diplomatic Officer the Foundation's Charter and Principles in both Arabic and English, along with a concise institutional brief covering the Foundation's latest cooperation agreements with universities and governmental bodies in Indonesia and Malaysia, its recent activities in France, Austria, Slovakia, and Slovenia, as well as the Foundation's official statement on the occasion of the FIFA World Cup 2026, in which it called for the tournament to be a bridge of peace and rapprochement among the world's peoples.
Within the framework of exploring avenues of cooperation, Mr. Mohamed Moataz proposed donating a selection of publications by the Foundation's Founder, Arab thinker Mr. Ali Muhammad Al-Shurafa Al-Hammadi, in both Arabic and English, to H.E. Ambassador Askar Zhenis, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Egypt.
He further proposed extending these donations to a number of Kazakhstani universities engaged in Islamic studies and Arabic language programmes, and exploring the possibility of translating these publications into the Kazakh language in order to reach a wider audience.
The meeting also raised the possibility of organising joint intellectual and cultural seminars, the dates and themes of which will be determined at a later stage.
For her part, Ms. Ainura expressed a warm welcome for the Foundation's ideas and objectives, noting that Resalat Al-Salam Foundation's goals intersect in many respects with Kazakhstan's own vision and mission in the field of interfaith dialogue and international peace.
She highlighted that Kazakhstan has hosted the International Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in Astana annually since 2003, which is considered one of the most prominent platforms for religious and civilisational dialogue at the international level.
Ms. Ainura affirmed that the Embassy looks forward to cooperating with Resalat Al-Salam Foundation and planning joint work across several cultural fields. She noted that the meeting was productive and that she would be informing H.E. Ambassador Askar Zhenis of its outcomes, confirming his openness to exploring possible avenues of cooperation with the Foundation in the coming period.
At the conclusion of the meeting, both parties agreed to continue communication and to explore possible cooperation opportunities in areas of mutual interest.
