Interaction with Delegates

Interaction with Delegates In the evening, dinner had been arranged at Hotel Shweizerhof in Luzern. We were taken to Luzern by car. Before dinner, the conference’s chief organiser, Mr. Andrey Beykov, delivered a speech. He thanked the participants who had come from different countries. The chief guest of the dinner function was the former President of the former Soviet Union, Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev. In the vast hall, people were sitting around different tables. Mr. Gorbachev was sitting at the same table as me. My chair was to the left of Mr. Gorbachev, and his translator’s chair was to his right. Thus, Mr. Gorbachev’s conversation mainly happened with me on this occasion. Maulana spoke with former Russian President, Gorbachev, on Muslim militancy, explaining that it has no relation to Islam. Islam is entirely a peaceful religion.
