Message to the Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture (IRCICA)read, on behalf of His Excellency President Abdoulaye Wade, President of the Republic of Senegal, Chairmanof the 11th Islamic Summit Conference, and Chairman of the Standing Committee for Information andCultural Affairs (COMIAC), by Mr. Amadou Niang, Minister of CommerceMr. President of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau,Mr. Secretary General of the OIC,Mr. Director General of IRCICA, Messrs. Members ofthe Governing Board of IRCICA, distinguished guests,It is a distinct honour given to me, today, to address tothe hosts of your illustrious institution, on the occasionof the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of theCOMCEC, a message of friendship and support, on behalfof His Excellency Maître Abdoulaye Wade, President ofthe Republic of Senegal, President of the Organisation ofthe Islamic Conference and the Standing Committee forInformation and Cultural Affairs (COMIAC).It is with real pleasure that I assume this task, given theparticularly significant results achieved by IRCICA inthe various fields covered by its activities:- congresses and symposiums which became almost aneveryday mission;- organisation or participation in festivals;- symposiums for the promotion of interculturalrelations;- implementation of programs such as those aiming torecord historical sites and monuments;- re-printing and publication of historical copies of theHoly Quran.In sum, your noble mission being aimed at highlightingeternally the image of our religion and our Islamicculture, you have endeavoured not to neglect anything ofthis culture and this religion. With the belief that Islamhas reached all the continents for many centuries now,you also endeavoured to extend your research activitiesto all parts of the world. Beyond these researches, yourtask, our task, is to re-establish the beauty of the Islamicculture by showing clearly to the world- its writings, in the depth of the thinking of those whoauthored them;- its monuments which stand against time andadversities- its immeasurable literary and artistic heritage- the diversity of the craft works it inspires- and above all, its universal dimension, based onsolidarity, sharing, and peace.The energetic actions you undertook in Jerusalem reflectthe care taken to restore the great works but they carryespecially, at their basis, the perpetuation of a message ofmutual acceptance in this elevated place where differentcivilisations meet, come into contact but unfortunately,sometimes collide with each other.In the same vein and in the same spirit, we have alreadycompleted construction, at the heart of Dakar, oflarge infrastructural works which were done with theparticipation of many groups of craftsmen, artists andcultural actors from various specialties. The messagethese works carry is also a message of peace and call fordialogue of religions, cultures and civilisations.Mr. Director General,Realisation of the broad vision that IRCICA brings toIslamic progress calls for an engagement of diverse andvaried entities, each one more determining than theother: governments, religious experts from all faiths,universities, architects, men of culture, etc. Based on thisvision, you have already opened numerous workshopseverywhere around the world. No doubt, the Organisationof the Islamic Conference will be the launching pad forfast realisation of these works. Insha’allah it will build,in the months and years to come, the economic, socialand cultural capacities that will further reinforce thisCentre….”Istanbul, 8 November 2009(Original: in French)which contributed greatly to the success of the activities.They praised with gratitude the constructive role played byDr. Abdul Hafiz Helmy Mohammad (representing Egypt),Vice-Chair, in the proceedings of the Board, and praisedthe efforts and contributions of Dr. Walid al-Fadil, whorepresented Kuwait in the previous term.The Board electedDr. Abdul Aziz Abdullah Turki Al-Subaie as Chairman, andDr. Saad Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Rashed, Vice-Chairman.
