Baroness (Sayeeda) Warsi, Minister for Faith and Communities, has invited representatives from countries across the world to a meeting due to take place at the Foreign Office today. It is understood that one of the aims of the gathering is to establish a core group of ministers from across the world to work together when incidents of religious intolerance arise. Representatives from the Vatican, the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation, United States, Canada, Pakistan and Indonesia are expected to attend.
