On behalf of CIH,BD MACCA facilitated the organization of an unprecedented national conference in February 2006 that was graced by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. About 1500 religious followers and leaders of major faiths such as Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, in Bangladesh attended the conference. Representatives of different diplomatic missions, MPs, Ministers, high officials joined the conference and applauded the initiative. Veteran faith leaders graced the conference and stressed the need of such moves for greater cooperation for development and peace in the country. It opened a new arena for organizations like MACCA.
