In his congratulatory letter to the conference as read by his representative, the governor of Jakarta said that Indonesia respects human rights, supports freedom of belief and encourages people of different beliefs to coexist peacefully. Falun Dafa advocates Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. It has elevated practitioners' moral standards, improved their health and makes people stay away from bad habits such as drinking, drug and violence. The governor wished the conference a big success.

Practitioners from Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, South Korea, United States and Sweden attended the conference. The conference was held in a solemn atmosphere. Practitioners mainly from Indonesia shared their experiences. Several practitioners who had suffered serious persecution in China and made their way abroad through many hardships disclosed the evil's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. They expressed mainland practitioners' resolute determination in the Fa rectification process. Their speeches won warm applause from the audience.

A press conference was held the day before. 15 media agencies attended the press conference. Practitioners introduced Falun Gong and showed a video exposing the "Self-immolation." Several practitioners talked about their tribulations in China.
