CALD Bali Conference

Indonesia, with more than 225 million inhabitants, has the fourth largest population in the world, and despite its ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity, has managed to maintain peace and pave the way to democracy and development. It is in this light that CALD chose Indonesia as the venue of its conference on “Pluralism and Development in Asia: Issues and Prospects” and there is no other place where this reality is more evident than Bali, which has been designated as a “Province of Peace, Democracy and Tolerance.”  The conference, hosted by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), with the support of FNF, brought together government officials, parliamentarians, party leaders, academics and civil society activists to tackle the issues and problems related to the theory and practice of pluralism in Asia, and consequently, to facilitate a broader understanding and greater appreciation of pluralism among the participants. The event also served to identify and discuss the links between pluralism and development, and the extent to which pluralism can serve as a tool for both political and human development.
