Prince Charles on Middle East trip for religious tolerance
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will go on their first royal tour for two years, with a visit to Jordan and Egypt next month.
The trip will visit holy sites and interfaith events that will promote tolerance between different religions. Climate change and the importance of girls' education will also be highlighted in the visits to the two Middle Eastern countries.Such royal visits are made at the request of the UK government - and this will be to two strategically important countries, where a series of official events will highlight the importance of building bridges between different faiths and cultures.
The prince will take part in conversations about the value of religious freedom and respect for other people's belief, in countries with holy sites for Muslims, Christians and other religions. Prince Charles has previously warned against the dangers of religious persecution and extremism - and the threat to Christian communities in the Middle East.
