MULTIFAITH FORUM PROMOTED BY SAUDI ARABIA

Early day motion 1470, tabled 1 May 2008 by Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative). Signed by 15 members.

That this House notes the initiative of the King of Saudi Arabia to bring together leaders of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths to a forum; applauds the fact that the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques wishes to engage with other faiths to ensure that the many factors that bind the various religious beliefs are shared and promoted; and hopes that the forum will demonstrate to the forces of extremism that Saudi Arabia and Britain are firm friends who are united in their determination to work together for better understanding, tolerance and mutual respect.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 3, UKIP 1.
