The delegates from across the Muslim world spent the first week in Clare College, Cambridge taking part in daily sessions covering discussion topics such as ‘Leadership in Life’, International Community Building, Cultures & Community, Enterprise and Environmental Sustainability.
At the Mosaic Dinner, Qari Asim met delegates and Embassy officials from all the above countries exchanged views on Community engagement, enterprise and sustainability.
