Institutional Iftar at the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation

Within the framework of the holy month of Ramadan, the Mosque Foundation of Seville had the honour of participating once again in the traditional institutional iftar organised by the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation at its headquarters. This annual meeting, which brought together prominent representatives of the institutional, cultural and diplomatic spheres, reaffirms the commitment of our city to the spirit of coexistence and intercultural dialogue typical of these dates.

The evening began with the emotional call to prayer or Adhan, which marked the moment of the breaking of the fast, giving way to a traditional dinner shared in an atmosphere of brotherhood. After the welcome of the Director of the Three Cultures Foundation, Ms. Mar Ahumada, who underlined the importance of continuing to promote spaces of understanding, Mr. Lahcen Es-Saady, Secretary of State for Crafts and Social and Solidarity Economy of Morocco, and Ms. Patricia del Pozo, Minister of Culture and Sport of the Junta de Andalucía and co-president of the Foundation, took part. The turn of speeches concluded with the words of Mr. André Azoulay, advisor to H.M. the King of Morocco and also co-president of the institution.

Among the numerous authorities present, it is worth mentioning the attendance of Ms. Macarena O’Neill, Deputy Minister of Culture and Sport of the Junta de Andalucía; Ms. Dounia Del-lero, Consul General of Morocco in Seville; Mr. Moha Er Rich, Director of Heritage Conservation of the Ministry of Crafts of Morocco; and Ms. Cláudia Boesch, Consul General of Portugal in Seville.

The night ended with an exquisite concert of Andalusian music by the musicians Anass Belhachemi and Mohamed Chfari, together with the voice of the singer Souhaila Sahraoui, putting the finishing touch to a day marked by shared tradition and the common mission of creating bridges between cultures. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Three Cultures Foundation, and especially to its director, Mrs. Mar Ahumada, for her organizational work and for her constant dedication to promoting knowledge and mutual respect.
