Indonesia's leadership is fully aware of the importance of these complex issue and Indonesia's potential contribution. However, there is a serious lack of awareness in the general population, in regional governments and in the business sector of what is at stake for Indonesia. It will be especially difficult for Indonesia to lead without the active support of regional governments and the business sector because they are critical for the implementation of new policies, especially those that provide Indonesia with new opportunities and incentives to a major player. It would be wise for the governments of partner countries to direct some of their capacity building resources to developing greater knowledge in the business sector. At the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, for example, we badly need the knowledge to be able to assess the options for business and the national interest in a balanced and forward looking way. This type of knowledge is not yet available in Indonesia. Some joint studies between the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and experts in partner countries could make the difference in Indonesia's ability to play a leadership role.

There many natural resources in indonesia: cultural diversity, religion, race. The historical development of religion in the area hasn't been without issue. Indonesians can learn a lot from the problems that exist and then be a mirror to the core problems of the world. Indonesia could be the key to a troubled world.
