A Member of the National Peace Council (NPC), Alhaji Khuzaima Mohammed Osman, is in Brazil to attend the 2024 G20 interfaith Forum.

The forum is co-organised by the International Partnership on Religion and Sustainable Development (PaRD) and the G20 Interfaith Forum (IF20) in collaboration with local partners, the Brazilian Centre of Studies in Law and Religion of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU).
