[From the Italian language press]:
Un Forum permanente per il dialogo islamo-cattolico: è la proposta lanciata al termine della due giorni di incontri preparatori, il 4 e il 5 marzo, tra cinque rappresentanti del Pontificio Consiglio per il dialogo interreligioso e una delegazione islamica composta da cinque studiosi di altrettante nazioni.
Di Mirko Testa, "Spiragli di dialogo tra cattolici e musulmani" - L'Occidentale - Roma, Lazio, Italy; venerdì 7 marzo 2008
A permanent Forum for Islamic-Catholic dialogue : the proposal came at the end of two days of preparatory meetings -held on March 4th and 5th- between five representatives of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and an Islamic Delegation of five scholars from different Nations.
The first seminar of the Forum will be held in Rome from 4th to 6th November 2008, and will be attended by 24 religious leaders and experts for each party.
The theme of the seminar is "Love for God, love for the Neighbor" with as sub themes "theological and spiritual basis" (first day) and "Human dignity and mutual respect" (second day).
The Forum aims to keep open the channels of communication between the two parties and will meet every two years alternately in Rome and in a Muslim country.
The five Islamic representatives who came to Rome belong to the group of experts coordinated by the Prince of Jordan Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal, chairman of al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, the first promoter of the "Letter of 138" (now 221) "A Common Word".
Among these outstanding representatives is the Italian Yahe Yahya Sergio Pallavicini, imam of al-Wahid mosque of Milan, ISESCO chairman of the Council for Education and Culture in the West and vice president of the Islamic Religious Community of Italy (COREIS).
Authoritative Voice of the Sufi community and of "moderate" Islam, Mr Pallavicini is certainly the privileged interlocutor for Vatican authorities.
Since 2006 he has been advisor to the Ministry of Interior for the Islamic Community.
