Will Lee go ahead with 'sukuk' bill?
President Lee Myung-bak called for a greater role for the Christian community in addressing social conflicts, in an apparent appeal to some church leaders who have opposed the government’s plan to give tax benefits to holders of Islamic bonds, or “sukuk.”
The meeting drew keen attention amid controversy regarding collective action by some Christian groups to nullify such a plan aimed at attracting investment from oil-rich Muslim countries.
