Hawzah News Agency (Mashhad, Iran) – In an interview with Hawzah News' correspondent in the city of Mashhad on Monday, Secretary General of Iraq's Hezbollah Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Hashem al-Haidari made some remarks on the unity between Islamic seminary and the universities.

He said, "Considering the cultural invasions imposed on Muslim countries by the enemies and the conspiracies of arrogant powers, we need to pay special attention to the youth and ease their interactions with Islamic seminaries."

The Iraqi cleric went on, "In order to unify Islamic seminaries and universities, these two organizations must approximate their epistemological and cultural views. The Islamic seminary and universities must share similar socio-political concerns in present era. The process to approximate Islamic seminary and the universities must be given a higher priority than to hold joint conferences and meetings."

 Secretary General of Iraq's Hezbollah further emphasized the eminent position that Islamic seminary holds among religious people in the Islamic Republic of Iran saying, "The role of seminaries in advancing Islamic civilization as well as educating the society is a truly decisive one, and that's why clerics need to offer new dialogues in order to influence the hearts of the youth."

"Exchanging information, lecturers as well as establishing cultural and political interactions can play a key role in unifying the Islamic seminary and universities."
