TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY CHRISTOPHE DE ROQUEFEUIL

French Director of the Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies (IDEO), Jean-Jacques Perennes (R), welcomes the leader of Egypt's Coptic Christians Pope Tawadros II, upon his arrival to attend the 60th anniversary celebration of the IDEO in Cairo on June 9, 2013. With its shaded courtyard and quiet library, Cairo's Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies is an oasis of research, aimed at fostering Islamic-Christian ties in a country riven with political and religious tensions. The internationally reputed IDEO institute aims to encourage not just study, but dialogue between the religions, in a context where "Islam can be scary and where a country like Egypt is trying hard to find its democratic voice," director Jean-Jacques Perennes said.
