OIC High-Level Segment Promotes Culture of Peace and Tolerance in Honor of Prophet Muhammad's 1500th Anniversary

On September 22, 2025, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM in Conference Room 4 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will convene a significant high-level segment focused on promoting a culture of peace and tolerance.

This event marks the 1500th anniversary of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and follows OIC Resolution 15/51-C, which was adopted during the Fifty-First Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers. The resolution underscores the OIC's commitment to fostering interfaith dialogue and countering intolerance worldwide.

Organized in partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), the segment aims to bring together diplomats, religious leaders, and civil society representatives. Discussions will explore ways to build bridges across cultures, drawing on the Prophet's teachings of compassion, justice, and coexistence. It's a timely reminder of the role that shared values can play in addressing global conflicts and promoting sustainable peace.

As the world grapples with rising divisions, events like this highlight the importance of multilateral efforts. Attendees can expect insights into ongoing OIC initiatives and UN collaborations that support tolerance in diverse societies. For those interested in international diplomacy, this gathering offers a platform to see how historical commemorations can inspire modern solutions.
