AMMAN, JORDAN – November 10, 2026 – The First World Public Summit: Arab World, under the theme “Dialogue, Cultural Heritage and Partnership for Our Common Future,” will officially open on November 10, 2026, at the Signia by Hilton Amman, bringing together international leaders, diplomats, intellectuals, cultural figures, writers, journalists, and representatives of civil society.
The Official Opening Ceremony, scheduled from 10:00 to 10:30, will mark the beginning of a major international gathering dedicated to strengthening dialogue among civilizations, promoting cultural heritage as a shared human value, and building sustainable partnerships between nations and peoples.
The Summit comes at a time when international cooperation and mutual understanding have become increasingly important in addressing global challenges. Its central message emphasizes that cultural diversity should be regarded not as a source of division, but as an opportunity to develop stronger connections, mutual respect, and common perspectives for the future.
International Leadership and Jordanian Patronage
The opening ceremony will feature Andrey Belyaninov, Secretary-General of the World Peoples Assembly, who will formally open the First World Public Summit: Arab World and introduce its overarching vision and objectives.
Another prominent speaker will be H.E. Ali Nasser Mohammed, President of the Arab Peace Group, whose participation reflects the Summit’s commitment to promoting peace, dialogue, and constructive cooperation across the Arab region and internationally.
The ceremony will take place under the patronage of H.E. Faisal Al-Fayez, President of the Senate of Jordan, whose patronage represents an important expression of Jordan’s support for international dialogue and initiatives that encourage understanding and partnership among nations.
The programme will also include welcome addresses by honorary guests, bringing together different perspectives on the importance of cultural diplomacy and international solidarity.
Cultural Heritage as Common Ground
One of the principal messages of the Summit is the recognition of cultural heritage as a powerful instrument for connecting societies. Historical memory, literature, artistic expression, traditional knowledge, and the preservation of cultural identities all contribute to a broader understanding of humanity’s shared achievements.
The Arab World, with its rich civilizational legacy and longstanding connections with other regions, offers an important setting for this international dialogue. Amman, as a meeting point of cultures and historical traditions, provides an appropriate venue for discussions about the relationship between heritage, contemporary challenges, and future cooperation.
From Dialogue to Practical Partnership
Beyond ceremonial statements, the Summit seeks to encourage practical cooperation through cultural, educational, scientific, humanitarian, and public diplomacy initiatives.
Its broader ambition is to transform mutual understanding into sustainable partnerships, connecting institutions and individuals capable of developing joint projects across geographical and cultural boundaries.
The official opening will therefore establish the intellectual and diplomatic framework for the Summit’s subsequent discussions and activities, reaffirming a shared vision: building a future founded on dialogue, respect for cultural diversity, peace, and international partnership.
The First World Public Summit: Arab World aims to demonstrate that lasting international cooperation begins with understanding one another and grows through shared responsibility and collective action.
