Al-Issa held talks with several prominent politicians, including counter-extremism campaigner and former UN ambassador, Mark D. Wallace, Democrat Senator Joseph Lieberman, Representative Brad Sherman and Republican Senator Ted Cruz, on the importance of confronting violent extremism and terrorism, and promoting the values of moderation and coexistence.
The US officials commended the MWL for its efforts in spreading awareness of the values of moderation, and for its dedication to confronting violent extremism and terrorism.
