Bahrul Hayat who led the Indonesian delegation to the interfaith dialogue would offer cooperation in education program such as regular workshops, exchange program of researchers as well as students exchange activity. Â
Prof Jamari said further that the interfaith dialogue should be publicized among younger generation because they normally do not understand the historical back-ground of conflict, violence and differences in the past.
