Ahmadinejad said in his letter to Mashaei that the center will work in parallel with the National Center for Dialogue of

Civilizations under the presidential office.



Former president Mohammad Khatami ran the Center for Dialogue of Civilizations after he handed over the presidency to Ahmadinejad in 2005.



Khatami is proponent of Dialogue of Civilizations and the United Nations designated the year 2001 as 'Year of Dialogue of

Civilizations' upon a proposal to that effect by Khatami in his statement to the UN General Assembly.
