Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono delivers speech during opening ceremony of UNESCAP ministerial meeting
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told 600 delegates from more than 60 countries at the U.N. conference that Asia-Pacific nations must focus on solving emerging issues of ethnic and religious violence.
"Development in the 21st century is also about tolerance 2 building," he said. "UNESCAP can help communities in this region achieve the kind of social progress that make them a bastion of resilience and tolerance, where diversity is celebrated 3 as a source of strength and dynamism."
Indonesia, a secular 4 nation with the world's largest Muslims population, has been rocked by ethnic and religious violence during the past several years. Muslims and Christians 5 have battled in Sulawesi, and Muslim terrorists have set off bombs on the predominately Hindu island of Bali.
There has also been inter-ethnic violence between Muslims and Buddhists 6 in Southern Thailand during the past two years, and on-going unrest among the Philippines' Muslim minority.
Mr. Yudhoyono also said countries in the region must focus on good governance as a way to promote development and eradicate 7 poverty.
"There is one critical lesson that stands out from the past decades: the key to progress lies in good governance," he said. "I would even venture to say that this is a universal lesson that applies to any society, regardless of ideology 8, political system, economic size, history, and culture."
The UNESCAP meeting is expected to focus on regional cooperation in dealing 9 with natural disasters, eradicating 10 poverty, and globalization.
Delegates will also discuss trade liberalization and the threat of a bird flu pandemic.
