Egypt's News Organs Officials hails King's call for global

Cairo, July 18 (SPA) - Jamal Al-Shuweikh, the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of Egypt's International News Organization said Thursday
the call of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin
Abdulaziz to convene the World Conference on Dialogue was made at the
most suitable time because the world is now in dire need of
constructive dialogue and peaceful coexistence.

In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), he said it will be
difficult to correct the wrong ideas about Islam caused by terrorists
and extremists, except through a logical dialogue with the followers
of revealed messages and oriental philosophies across the globe.

On his part, Editor-in-Chief of the Cairo-based 'Aqeedati" newspaper
Mejdi Salih highlighted the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in
this respect, and said Spain is the most suitable place for convening
the conference because it was the gate from which the Islamic
civilization had earlier reached Europe.

Head of the religious department at the Cairo-based Al-Ahram
newspaper Saeed Halawi underscored the importance of dialogue.

He called for establishing a mechanism for implementing the
decisions of the conference.
