The Inter-Religious Council of Uganda, which brings together seven religious institutions in Uganda, has reached out to Iranian President Sayyid Ebrahim Raisi, urging him to activate a memorandum of understanding previously signed between the council and Iran.
The memorandum, signed in 2017 with the Cultural Counsel of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, aimed to promote collaboration among different religious denominations, focusing on peace, justice, education, and unity.
During President Raisi’s visit to the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council headquarters in Old Kampala on Wednesday night, Most Rev. Stephen Kaziimba-Mugalu, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda and current chairperson of the Inter-religious council of Uganda appealed for the activation, support, and expansion of this partnership.
Kaziimba-Mugalu emphasized the need to strengthen the capacity of religious leaders and religious initiatives, including youth centers for skill enhancement and entrepreneurship, as well as peace and leadership development. END.
