MPs Mr. Marios Karoyan, head and member, respectively, of the Cypriot delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) will participate in a Parliamentary Conference on Interfaith Dialogue, co-organised by the IP and the Parliament of Morocco, in Marrakesh, between 13 and 15 June 2023. The MPs will be accompanied by Senior International Relations Officer Augusta Christou.

The main theme of the Conference is "Parliaments and religious leaders: promoting dialogue, working together for our common future". Other key issues to be addressed at the Conference include good practices and challenges in cooperation to promote the rule of law and strengthening regional and global peace through interfaith dialogue.

The latest IC report on the role of religious beliefs in achieving peaceful and inclusive societies will be presented at the Conference. The report deals with the institutional engagement of parliaments with different aspects of religion. It also examines and evaluates parliamentary mechanisms and actions undertaken to promote inclusive policies that respond to different needs, values and cultures. The report also includes references to the House of Representatives, in particular with regard to the implementation of the political representation of different religions and beliefs, as set out in the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus.
