A total of 48 senior scholars and representatives from both faiths were in attendance.

The Muslim delegation included prominent figures like HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Ali Gomaa, Grand Mufti of Bosnia and Herzegovina Mustafa Ceric, Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah, Habib Umar bin Hafiz, and Habib Ali al-Jifri among others.
