“The award is based on a set of standards that contribute to strengthening the system of positive values that the center seeks to integrate in society to achieve the visions and aspirations of the wise leadership by spreading a culture of tolerance, coexistence and cohesion among all segments of society, and confronting everything that threatens the social fabric,” he said.
