Duc Co Minh, President of CIFOA, indicated the areas in which he would like to be involved: intergenerational solidarity, support for young people, in particular for business start-ups, better mutual knowledge…
The problems engendered by “communautarisme” [Translator's note: A turning inwards to one's own community, that can be very roughly translated "ghetto mentality"] were also the subject of lively discussions. Jean-Pierre Allali, from CRIF, informed the participants about meetings he had initiated between Jews and Buddhists, reminding Duc Co Minh that people tend to forget that Israel is an Asian country! The participants envisage a continuation of this dialogue.
