The two winners, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Moroccan-French activist, Latifa Ibn Ziaten, were honoured in a virtual event anchored around the picturesque setting of the Founder’s Memorial, in Abu Dhabi.
The ceremony included the acceptance speeches of the two honorees, along with messages from Pope Francis and Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr Ahmed el-Tayeb.
