Your Excellency, 

On behalf of the Christian Conference of Asia I wish to extend our warmest greetings and congratulations to on your appointment as Malaysia’s Sixth Prime Minister on 3rd April, 2009.

Since the independence of Malaysia I 1957 it has grown to be a vibrant developed society, where in spite of its cultural and religious diversity, the people have been living in relative stability and peace. The reason for its success is because the leaders of the nation have always strived to build a truly united nation based on the highest ideals of democracy. 

You are taking over the leadership of Malaysia at a most challenging time, and we pray that God will grant you all wisdom and strength to maintain the cultural-religious harmony in the country on the basis of justice and mutual respect.

The Christian Conference of Asia has been invited by the Council of Churches of Malaysia to hold its General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur in April next year. The 450 delegates from all over Asia will have the chance of visiting your beautiful country and experience its progress.

We are hoping that you will be able to grace the Assembly at its opening by your presence. An invitation letter will be forthcoming.

The Christian Conference of Asia looks forward to opportunities of cooperation with you and your government in order to promote justice and peace among all people in Asia.

With God’s blessings on you, your family and your government.

Yours sincerely,

DR. PRAWATE KHID-ARN
General Secretary
