Islamic Conference

Mr Bush announced plans yesterday to appoint a special envoy to the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, a grouping of 57 mostly Muslim nations, in an attempt to improve relations between the US and the Islamic world.

布什昨天宣布，计划任命一位伊斯兰会议组织（Organisation of the Islamic Conference）特使，以改善美国和伊斯兰世界的关系。伊斯兰会议组织由57个国家组成，其中大部分是穆斯林国家。

This is not to oversell the UK capital's tolerance: shortly after our conference there, an Islamic centre was burnt down in the wake of a soldier being hacked to death in the city's streets.

这并不是说英国首都的包容性值得吹嘘：就在我们的伦敦会议结束后不久，一个伊斯兰中心被烧毁，纵火者是为了报复一名士兵在伦敦街头被砍杀。

I also wish to express our thanks to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for hosting the Conference of Dialogue of Asian Civilizations.

对伊朗政府召开此次亚洲文明对话会议表示感谢。
