SINGAPORE - Countries working together on common challenges, such as global warming and global security issues, must do so on a foundation of mutual trust and respect, as well as deeper understanding, and harmony, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Friday .
But building an inclusive and cohesive society is always a work in progress, both in Singapore and elsewhere in the world, he added. Organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, the event aims to be a platform for conversations on strengthening interfaith understanding and developing new ideas to foster greater harmony in societies.
