The International Islamic Unity Conference was launched decades ago following a call by the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, to designate the “Week of Unity.” Since then, it has grown into a prominent platform for promoting solidarity among Muslim nations.

The conference brings together ministers, religious leaders, academics, and cultural figures from around the world. Past participants have included scholars from countries such as Egypt, Malaysia, the UK, Turkey, Jordan, Pakistan, and many others.
