AMMAN — HRH Prince Hassan called for the creation of a “Social Media Peace Corps” on Monday at an international peace conference in Rabat, themed “Living together: for a culture of dialogue”, according to a statement.

During his keynote speech, Prince Hassan highlighted the need for concrete facts to combat the negative ideologies afflicting Jordan and the Arab world from within. He added, “In attempting to preserve the traditions and customs of our shared civilisation, many individuals are undermining the very foundations on which it was originally built.”

Prince Hassan concluded that, “History, and the learning of the ancients can restore balance within Islam and within all of our mutual traditions.” Prince Hassan commended the roles of Their Majesties King Abdullah and King Mohammed VI of Morocco and in protecting the holy sites in Jerusalem.
