The Group of 20’s first-ever Religious Forum Summit has been scheduled to be held ahead of the upcoming G20 conference in Bali on Wednesday, November 2.

Being held on November 2 to 3, the “R20” forum has been organized by the country’s largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU).
 
The R20 aims to encourage discussions among global religious leaders to find shared solutions for issues of religious extremism, by promoting the value of human equality.
 
Bringing together more than 400 participants, including 160 inter-religious figures from the world’s 20 largest economies, the event is an opportunity to assert the role of religion as a source of global solutions for global economic and political problems.
 
 Religious organizations invited to attend include the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the World Evangelical Alliance, the World Muslim League – and, surprisingly, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an Indian militant right-wing Hindu nationalist paramilitary volunteer organization.
