The chatter of a possible engagement comes five months after similar reports claimed Kelce and Swift were already discussing marriage, despite having only dated for a few months.
TOKYO: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Friday called for heightened empathy and open dialogue between people of different faiths and backgrounds as he addressed the growing threats of obscurantism, bigotry and intolerance that threaten to divide societies and undermine peace.
"By promoting empathy, understanding and respect, we can counter the forces of division and build bridges across cultures, religions and nations,” he said in his 40-minute speech in front of about 200 attendees. "I believe in Japan while there is greater empathy in the approach towards the study of Buddhism and Christianity, as demonstrated by the level and frequency of dialogues, it would appear that it is somewhat lacking in the case of the approach towards Islam."Which is why I commend this university and express my profound appreciation for inviting me to give this oration.
