INDONESIA IS A DEMOCRATIC NATION facing complex challenges in building a secure and sustainable future for its some 220 million people. The separatist issues in Aceh even in the wake of the quake and tsunami tragedy, the recent bombings of the Australian Embassy and Marriott Hotel, and the Bali bombing incident of 2002 bring to fore the formidable odds the government and people of Indonesia face in overcoming and bracing for difficult circumstances that intensify and radicalize current problems.
Today’s global landscape harbors minority divisive elements that threaten to derail any peaceful development that is underway in a progressive democracy, and to further undermine efforts to balance the myriad of demands upon a diverse but united nation such as Indonesia.
This Forum brings together leading representatives from diverse sectors such as government, global institutions, business and industry, academia, civil society, and NGOs, to engage their peers and discuss how the private sector can play a dynamic role engaging with the civil society and public sector in supporting and achieving social and economic progress, and contribute effectively to Indonesia’s sustainable development.
Serving as an open educational platform for vital discussion and interaction, United in Diversity seeks to foster greater cooperation in a learning process among various constituents domestically whilst engaging with the world.
