He indicated about a huge cooperation with Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense and the National Guard, affirming, “Currently, those institutions are being assisted in endorsing some of the academic syllabus and programs for cadets in the military and police academy because of their keenness to instill concepts and virtues which enhance and promote moderation in the military institutions”.

He explained that the objective of the project is to engage students of universities and schools in discussions, and to talk with them in classes in order to instill concepts of religious moderation.
