Gen. Feisal to meet feligious leaders

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Commander of the Armed Forces (ABRI) Gen. Feisal Tanjung and Minister of Religious Affairs Tarmizi Taher are scheduled to address a gathering of religious leaders and activists in the province.

The Jan. 17 meeting will be held to increase the public's awareness of the danger of communism, according to organizer Asril Alisyahbana Nasution.

Some 500 leaders of Moslem, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist organizations will join the gathering, he was quoted by Antara as saying yesterday.

It is likely that the meeting will conclude by establishing a communication forum for religious leaders in the province. "We expect that the forum will help strengthen unity among people," he said. (swe)
