What is your dream for the world in Golden Jubilee year?

Transcription of extract from: “One on One: Interview with Peter Mansbridge, CBC, Canada, 28 October 2006″

Peter Mansbridge: Next year is your Golden Jubilee, 50 years, … whats your dream for the world in that year? … Whats your realistic hope?

Mawlana Hazar Imam: Well clearly I would like to see the areas of the world which are living in horrible poverty, I’d like to see that, replaced by an environment where people can live in more hope than they have had. I would like to see governments that produce enabling environments where society can function and grow rather than live in the dogmatisms that we have all lived through and which, I think, have been very constraining. And I would like to see solid institutional building because when all is said and done, society needs institutional capacity.”
