During the opening session, Chairman of Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID) HE Dr. Ibrahim bin Saleh Al Naimi emphasized that developing education, providing equal educational opportunities, empowering women, and achieving social justice are central humanitarian issues that reflect shared religious values and serve as a gateway to genuine cultural and interfaith dialogue.

He highlighted Qatar's pioneering efforts in supporting women's roles and promoting education and human development globally, stressing that integrating persons with disabilities into development pathways aligns with religious values advocating dignity and justice.
