City Governments As An Important Pillar of Tolerance
Indonesia has diverse communities with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. Tolerance becomes an important factor in keeping people’s lives in harmony.
City Tolerance Governance
Tolerance and togetherness in our city must be maintained. Harmony and advancement of the city can be destroyed instantly if we don’t have consistency and seriousness to control it.
This is the big task of the current generation: Inheriting tolerance and mutual respect within the harmonious life of all cities in Indonesia.

NATIONAL DIALOGUE OF CITY GOVERNMENTS AS AN IMPORTANT PILLAR OF TOLERANCE
The government’s role is one of the important pillars in maintaining and strengthening tolerance. Development planning and legal products must avoid discriminatory policies.
