    22-23 June 2009, Bishop Nareg Alemezian, the Ecumenical Officer of the

    Council of Churches and Secretaries of Christian World Communions. In his
    welcome, he expressed his optimism about their work and said: "I am
    convinced that our cooperation as churches through councils and Christian
    world communions will continue bearing its fruit as we continue to respond
    together to the challenges of the 21st century."

    After hearing brief reports on ecumenical relations from the participants,
    the committee discussed modes of cooperation on the following issues:
    Christian-Muslim relations; Joint Assemblies; Bilateral Dialogues and
    Christian Unity; 2011 International Peace Convocation organized by the WCC.
