After the Pope’s visit to the UAE in February 2019, in August of the same year, the UAE Government announced the implementation of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together signed by the Head of the Catholic Church and the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Dr. Ahmed el-Tayyeb:
The document is the blueprint to “guide future generations” towards tolerance and respect for diversity, equal rights for women and appreciation for all religions.

Langpros important contribution at the Human Fraternity forum 2020
Langpros is once again trusted with the important task of providing Italian to English and vice versa simultaneous interpreting for the said event. The importance of this task goes beyond accuracy. It is important for our simultaneous interpreters to convey the message, the essence and the emotions behind every speech and dialogue delivered by the speakers in hopes of reaching out to the youth, for their message to penetrate deep into the young people’s mind and soul.
Our simultaneous interpreters have performed the important task of interpreting speeches and dialogues from English to Italian and vice versa for the said Forum, enabling everyone to convey and comprehend the core aim of this event: hearing the voice of humanity.
