The dinner was attended by Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS and Under Secretary-General of the United Nations, William Lacy Swing, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Miguel Angel Moratinos, president of the ONUART Foundation and former Spanish foreign minister.

The event was also attended by Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations, Choi Kyong-lim, President of the UN Human Rights Council as well as around fifty ambassadors in Geneva and officials from several international institutions.

Speaking on this occasion, Moratinos hailed Morocco's commendable contribution, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, to the organization in Geneva of the first Mediterranean Concert, a landmark initiative for the promotion of inter-cultural and inter-civilizational dialogue.

The Concert was initiated by Morocco's permanent mission in Geneva, the UN and the ONUART Foundation. It was an occasion for the Moroccan royal symphony orchestra, conducted by Maestro Toni Cuenca, to take the stage along with 14 singers representing countries in the two shores of the Mediterranean who sang "A song for peace in the Mediterranean".
