An inter-religion meeting was launched here on Thursday for religious leaders from 15 countries in Asian Pacific region to talk about cooperation, peace and harmony in the world.
All religious sects have to work together to help this globe to have peace, food security and contribute to poverty reduction, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said while addressing the meeting.
"We have to have tolerance among all religions, and help to build morality in society, share cultures and arts for people to understand deeply," he added.
The meeting, held on April 3-4, talks about security, respect for religious belief, understanding and tolerance, equal opportunity, solidarity, cooperation and conflict resolution, a press release said.
The meeting is sponsored by Australian and Indonesian governments while Cambodia hosts the meeting, it said.
About 95 percent of Cambodians are Buddhist, three percent of them Muslims, one percent for Christians, and one percent for others, according to the statistics from Cambodian Ministry of Cults and Religion.
