Mar Awa III, the Catholicos of the Assyrian Church of the East, will speak at the upcoming World Congress of Syriac Studies in Bucharest.

He advocates for dialogue among churches and the preservation of Christian heritage in the Middle East. The congress will feature global scholars and aims to foster academic and intercultural exchange. This event is significant as it is the first time the congress is held in Romania, highlighting its international relevance.
