"The cornerstone of this empowerment journey is the crafting of a shared identity," he said when opening the World Indigenous Day celebration themed"In Search of Common Identity" here on Tuesday . "Its primary objectives are to facilitate dialogue, promote mutual understanding among diverse indigenous factions, emphasise the importance of a collective identity, and strategise to enhance the indigenous ecosystem of Borneo," he said.
