Keynote at the International Press Institute World Congress

"Political relations for a democratic and pluralistic dispensation need to be guided by a culture of dialogue, a culture of tolerance, and indeed on the rule of law. Tolerance applies not only to respecting and appreciating our social and cultural differences, but equally the differences in our affiliation to political parties. We need to learn to disagree without being disagreeable and becoming permanent enemies." - Dr. Salim, May 23, 2005
