Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) and the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity (HCHF) have formalized their partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on September 3, 2024, by UIII Rector Prof. Dr. Jamhari and HCHF Secretary-General Dr. Khalid Ghanim Al-Ghaith.
HCHF is an independent international committee established to promote the values of human fraternity globally. It was created based on the Document on Human Fraternity, which was co-signed by His Holiness Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church, and Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Professor Ahmed Al-Tayeb on February 4, 2019, in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
