In his keynote address, the President of Algeria, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, said "the building of a pluralistic world […] a world in which all human beings would feel at home in their diversity without exception. This world, geared to happiness, cannot be created by uniformizing and standardizing the habits, behaviours, thinking and values of peoples. The happiness of which we all dream depends on our ability to understand and accept others in their diversity, diversity that is not a handicap but, if intelligently drawn upon, can serve as a source of progress for humanity."
