Al-Azhar keen to promote cooperation with African countries, Grand Imam to Adviser to Burkina Faso's President
Al-Azhar Grand Imam, Prof. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, received the Adviser to Burkina Faso's President for Arab and Islamic Affairs, Dr. Abu Bakar Dokri.
The Grand Imam said that Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif is keen on promoting cooperation with the various countries of the African continent to support them in confronting extremist ideas. He stressed Al-Azhar’s readiness to provide more scientific and missionary support to Burkina Faso to immunize its youth against being attracted to terrorist organizations.
Dr. Abu Bakar Dokri, for his part, affirmed that Al-Azhar enjoys great prestige among the Burkinabe people, expressing his country’s deep gratitude to Al-Azhar for the medical and humanitarian support, especially the medical convoy sent to Burkina Faso last year, which helped to treat thousands of patients and perform hundreds of critical surgeries.
