pleasure that the Ramadhan Foundation is the sole Muslim organisation
from the UK at such an important international event. Our Chairman Mr. Muhammad Umar will
be holding key meetings throughout his visit to share information on
how to tackle global problems and how Islam and Muslims can make a
positive contribution to tackling them.
Having the
opportunity to speak and discuss issues with both the Prime Minister
