This historic meeting was conducted in Almaty, Kazakhstan on February 14, 2003, as a part of the International Conference for Peace and Accord.

Other Parties who attended this meeting included leaders from the Ukraine, Australia, Byelorussia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, New Zealand, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Armenia and they also participated in the Conference for Peace and Accord.
The Parties agreed once again and re-confirmed the conclusions reached and contained in the Joint Memorandum of Jewish and Muslim leaders in Almaty, Kazakhstan on the 21st of October, 2002, including the conclusion that the followers of both religions consider each other as partners on a joint search for a common spiritual basis in our present day world that is full of contradictions. The dialogue the Parties began in October 2002 was continued here, is on-going and acquired here a new level of understanding within the framework of the unified Abrahamic perception of the world.
The Parties welcomed and agreed with the outcomes of the International Conference for Peace and Accord and they approved the "Declaration of Peace and Stability" that was adopted by that Conference. This Declaration created a new and unique dialogue structured in the form of the Forum for Peace and Stability. This new Forum is a significant step forward in the development of the interaction between civilizations and cultures.
United by the rejection of evil in today's world; such evil is displayed in the phenomena of terrorism, extremism, aggressive separatism, illegal traffic of drugs, guns and people, illegal migration and organized crime, the Muslim Clerical Leaders of the Central Asian countries and the Representatives of Jewish communities expressed their willingness to participate in the work of the new Forum and to promote harmony between two great confessions.
