RI representative in NY hosts interfaith dialogue
Antara , New York | Thu, 05/15/2008 7:43 PM | World
Indonesia's representative office in New York hosted an interfaith dialogue Wednesday to reemphasize the importance of religious harmony and tolerance within the international community.
Representatives of the six major religions -- Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism -- attended the dialogue. The speakers were figures from various religious communities in New York.
"This interfaith dialogue, in my view, is a means to develop mutual understanding among the different religious communities in New York," Indonesian Consul General Trie Edi Mulyani said.
She said promoting interfaith tolerance and understanding in Indonesia was a top priority of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration.(*)
