Strengthening inter-cultural understanding was one of the topics when President Halimah Yacob held an informal discussion with young people from around the world on Wednesday (June 19).

President Halimah met some of the 100 delegates who were in Singapore on Tuesday and Wednesday for the Young Leaders’ Programme.

Held at Raffles City Convention Centre, the inaugural event is aimed at making society more cohesive.

The three-day conference, which runs until Friday, is a platform for conversations on strengthening interfaith understanding and developing new ideas to foster greater harmony in societies. It is expected to be attended by around 1,000 delegates from close to 40 countries.

It is organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.
