The campaign is a stark reminder of the urgency of our shared responsibility to combat terrorism in all its forms," he added.

Highlighting the significance of the exhibition, he noted that "today's exhibition is not merely a presentation of images, videos and testimonies. It is a statement of our shared humanity.
