Overview |
The U.S.-Islamic World Forum is designed to bring together key
leaders in the fields of politics, business, media, academia, and civil
society from across the Muslim world and the United States. It seeks to
address the critical issues dividing the United States and the Muslim
world by providing a unique platform for frank dialogue, learning, and
the development of positive partnerships between key leaders and opinion
shapers from both sides.
Now in its fifth year, the Forum has become the foremost meeting for
positive cross-cultural engagement among leaders from the United States
and the Muslim world. It also provides the foundation for a range of
complementary activities designed to enhance the effectiveness of the
dialogue. These include task forces and initiative workshops of
policymakers and experts, as well as associated outreach, research, and
publications. The Forum serves as both a convening body and catalyst for
positive action. Its focus is on a dialogue that leads to the
development of actionable programs for government, civil society, and
the private sector.

The Brookings Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World
also seeks to convene follow-up conferences within other Muslim regions
to address, in greater depth and breadth, the challenges confronting the
United States and the Muslim world as a whole. In 2008, the Project will
convene a regional forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This meeting will
help establish a collaborative framework for U.S., Southeast Asian, and
wider Muslim-world leaders and thinkers to gather and address issues of
mutual concern.
The Forum is hosted in cooperation with the Foreign Ministry of the
Government of the State of Qatar (Qatar Permanent Committee for
organizing Conferences).
