TITLE: International Relations: healing the rift between nations

SYNOPSIS: This week the Pathway to Peace team will be examining international relations and whether relations between nation states have become more fractured as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. How can nations deal with each other amicably and in a mutually beneficial manner? What guidance can we take from Islamic sources in this area? The panel will also look at international spiritual gatherings such as the Hajj and the Annual Convention (Jalsa Salana) as examples of positive international events where national borders are merely lines on a map and not something that defines our purpose and existence in this world.

HOST: Sarah Ward

PANEL: Reem Shraiky, Aalia Khan & Shazia Bhatti
