The artistic and cultural space Riad Sultan will host on 24 February the first Ibn Battouta International Meeting for tolerance and rapprochement of peoples. This meeting is organised by the "Société d'Aménagement du Port de Tanger Ville" in collaboration with the Abdelhadi Tazi Foundation, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the inauguration of the Ibn Battouta Memorial Exhibition Space in Bordj En-Naâm in the old city of Tangier, which coincides with the celebration of the anniversary of the birth of explorer Ibn Battouta (719 years ago).
The event focuses on Ibn Battuta's travels and literature, with a particular emphasis on the port of Tangier Med. The explorer's works have been translated into more than fifty languages, which explains why experts from different countries have mobilised for the cultural event: Najib Ghiyati (representative of the Islamic World Organisation for Education, Science and Culture), Claudia M. Tresso (professor of Arabic languages and literature at the University of Turin in Italy), Yosr Tazi (president of the Abdelhadi Tazi Foundation), etc.
