Promotion of the Dialogue between the West and the Arabo-Islamic world

The conference will explore the grounds for developing positive relations between the West and the Islamic world, to replace hostility and resentment with a dialogue based on trust and understanding.

In that enterprise, France and the United States have a common interest in working together. Both countries are old allies, with U.S.-French diplomatic relations stretching back more than 225 years. Both countries have shared values, and are actively committed to addressing common problems, regionally and globally.

The conference will bring together key leaders in the fields of politics, business, media, academia, and civil society from the Islamic world and the West to discuss the most effective ways for interaction and collaboration.

It will also assess the opportunities and challenges facing political leaders in charting a new direction in the relationship between the West and the Islamic world, at a critical time in the US political agenda, in the aftermath of an unprecedented international financial crisis.

In mapping the different kinds of dialogue, this conference will emphasize the diversity between and within the terms “Islam” and the “West”: both worlds are not self-contained entities; they on the contrary interact and overlap in multiple ways. We will throughout the conference agenda remain fully aware of the complex and multifaceted reality that the West and the Islamic world represent.
