While congratulating the department for identifying a relevant theme for scholarly deliberations, Prof. Romshoo noted the strength of harboring inter-faith dialogue and exchanges for the overall well-being of the society. He also called on students and scholars to focus on the inter-disciplinarity while researching in this area as that would help establish cross-cultural linkages and possibilities of achieving brotherhood at every level.

The Keynote Address was delivered by Prof. Sayyid Atif Rizwan, Director of Catholic-Muslim Studies Programme with Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, USA. He brought to the limelight the meaning of the interfaith dialogue from an Islamic perspective and drew parallels between Islam and Christianity. Dean Academic Affairs, Prof. Manzoor Ahmad Malik, recollected instances of the Muslim patronage of non-Muslim scholarship in the medieval times which resulted in the creation and preservation of a treasure-trove of knowledge. Earlier, Head, Department of Islamic Studies, Dr. Afroz Ahmad Bisati presented the Welcome Address, besides introducing the theme of the Conference in which over 40 participants presented their research papers on the diverse aspects of the theme during four technical sessions held in blended form.
