At the 8th edition of the International Istanbul Arabic Book Fair, the largest international Arabic book fair held outside the Arab world, significant attention was drawn to the Muslim Council of Elders' pavilion. Featuring over 190 publications on thought, culture, and Islamic heritage, the pavilion attracted a diverse audience, including visitors from around the world and leading researchers from various fields. These attendees were eager to engage with the Council’s works, which tackle a range of critical issues. The Council also hosted two key seminars: one titled ‘The Role of the Muslim Council of Elders in Promoting Islamic Heritage and Thought’, and another, ‘The Journey of Human Fraternity: Imam Al-Tayeb and Pope Francis as a Model’. The latter focused on the Document on Human Fraternity and its relevance today, especially amidst ongoing global conflicts that highlight the need for peace and coexistence.
