In his <a class='photo' href='\/images\/125LoO_HRH_Prince_Hassan_6_2.jpg' rel='lightbox' title= \"Prince Hassan during his lecture to Senior Course 125.\">Lecture<\/a> of Opportunity, the Prince referred several times to the need to grant and preserve equality among men. HRH also pointed out that the existence of religions is not the main cause of problems in the world, it is rather economics and political issues which are at the source of conflict. He concluded by expressing the hope that the audience had reached the understanding that \u201cstability is possible only by establishing human cooperation and relationships\u201d. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The 75 minute-long presentation was followed by a <a class='photo' href='\/images\/125LoO_HRH_Prince_Hassan_7_2.jpg' rel='lightbox' title= \"HRH Prince Hassan with Head NDC Middle East Faculty Col Morabito during the Q&#038;A\">Q&#038;A<\/a> moderated by the Head of the NDC Middle East Faculty Col Giuseppe Morabito.

Bojarski thanks His Royal Highness for honouring the NDC with his presence.\">Bojarski<\/a> thanked the Prince for returning to the College for the fourth time. Above and beyond HRH willingness to discuss complex and contentious political issues, the Prince is first and foremost a &#8220;symbol of wisdom&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">HRH Prince El Hassan Bin Talal is a member of the Hashemite family of Jordan, he holds a number of important awards, titles and honours. Prince Hassan is active in many forums which promote dialogue and cooperation. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">HRH presence at the College was a source a great enrichment to both Senior Course Members and to the audience as a whole, which today filled the Main Auditorium to attend this unique occasion.<\/p>\n<p><em>NDC Public Affairs Office<br \/>(Prepared by Ms Sharon Orlandini and Ms Natalia Valzano, ITA C)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Hassan during his lecture to Senior Course 125.
