Japan has taught Iraqis an important lesson on tolerance and humanitarian devotion when it decided to open a hospital in the city of Fallujah in memory of Japanese journalist Shinsuke Hashida, who perished in Fallujah in 2004.
This has great significance as to the concept of coexistence. Coexistence among and within people cannot be achieved without a vision that fosters tolerance, as a secure path to founding modern societies, consolidating social ties and entrenching a humanitarian perspective in relations between peoples.
