“The Indonesian Government has always believed that interfaith cooperation is critical to world peace and as such, the Indonesian Government has always actively promoted interfaith exchanges and cooperation. The 1000 Abrahamic Circles program offers a fresh and innovative peace-building idea to turn ignorance and prejudice to engagement and mutual respect through a real-life interactive process on the ground involving grassroots leaders of the religious faith of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. I find it particularly useful that this program intends to engage countries of concern both in the developed and developing world. I believe that the successful implementation of 1000 Abrahamic Circles would have a significant impact on a volatile world which is in dire need of greater harmony and tolerance.”
