KARACHI: UNGA designated the observance of World Interfaith Harmony Week in 2010, emphasising that mutual understanding and inter-religious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace.
Annual event World Interfaith Harmony Week, that is observed from 1st till 7th of February, is meant to augment harmony between people of all faith.
UNGA encourages all States to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, gurdwaras and other places of worship during World Interfaith Harmony Week.
