The speaker mentioned about the urgent challenges facing Muslim states in the context of globalization. Among them are the preservation and embellishment of the ancestral heritage for future generations, the further strengthening of the place of national and religious values in public life, the preservation of cultural identity in the face of a rapidly changing situation in the world. A large place was also given to the practical basis of ensuring religious tolerance.
