The organizing committee of the forum organized by the Philipine Council for Islam and Democracy with the support from the British and Netherlands embassies expects Hasyim to share his success in leading the Indonesia's biggest Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) for playing its significant role in Indonesia.
The committee also hopes the secretary-general of the International Conference of Islamic scholars to give the Philipine ulema some insights on the importance of the role of organizational unity in addressing the challenges faced by Muslims today.
While, the theme of the summit is "One Message, One Ummah: Ulema Unity for Peace and Development". (dar)
