YOGYAKARTA - A total of 100 experts from various countries discussed the revival of religion in Southeast Asia in the last 15 years. Several experts come from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Holland, America, and Australia. The experts will discuss in the "International Conference and Research on the Resurgence of Religions in Southeast Asia, 1997-2011" from January 5 to 8 in Yogyakarta.

UGM Rector, Prof. Ir. Sudjarwadi, M. Eng., Ph.D., in his welcoming speech read by the Executive Secretary, Drs. Djoko Moerdiyanto, MA, said that through this conference UGM is able to contribute in the efforts to provide solutions to global issues, including religious conflict. According to Djoko, UGM will continue to provide the best solution independently and in dignity for the world's problems. "UGM remains committed to meet the needs and welfare of the country and the world," said Sudjarwadi in the opening of the conference in Omah Dhuwur, Kotagede, on Tuesday (4/1) night.
