Syed Hamid To Relate Malaysia's Experience At Inter-Faith Dialogue
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar will relate Malaysia's experience in fostering national unity and harmony among its multicultural and multifaith societies at the second Asia-Europe (ASEM) Inter-faith Dialogue (IFD) to be held in Larnaca, Cyprus on Monday.
Syed Hamid is scheduled to present a paper entitled "Religion and Multiethnic Societies" as well to moderate the third working group at the three-day dialogue, a Wisma Putra statement said Friday. The statement said during the session Syed Hamid would exchange views on issues relating to the role of religion in multicultural, multiethnic societies and to reflect on Malaysia's experience in fostering national unity and harmony.
The second ASEM IFD is expected to deliberate on issues concerning inter-faith dialogue under the theme of "Interfaith understanding and cooperation for a peaceful world". Three parallel working groups would be held to discuss three other sub-themes namely interfaith understanding, role of media in promoting interfaith dialogue as well as religion and multiethnic societies.
The Larnaca dialogue would review the progress of the implementation of recommendations of the first ASEM IFD held in Bali on 21 and 22 July last year.
**** I have only one question to ask. Why is the foreign minister attending an inter-faith dialogue when the rest of the country is overtly or covertly prohibited to do so?
