Culture has increasingly become a foundation of diplomacy — an alternative diplomacy that should propagate the idea of a humanist civilization built on the freedom of expression and equal rights around the world.

Art, science, sport and other forms of cultural cooperation can strengthen relationships between different peoples, faiths, ethnic groups, and cultures.

The Iman Foundation is committed to the organization of events that promote mutual understanding and respect between different cultures.
