"Building Peace on Truth: Truth-Based Media" was the theme of this year's Summit, which focused on strategies for defending Judeo-Christian values in the face of the growing threat to western civilization posed by radical Islam. *

The Asian Jerusalem Summits were inspired by the annual Jerusalem Summit held in Israel. Dmitry Radyshevsky, Executive Director of the Jerusalem Summit, has announced plans for a Jerusalem Summit Africa and New Europe for the coming year. "The threat of terrorism driven by radical Islam is global and so the response must be international as well.

Speaking of relations between Israel and Asia, MK Dr. Yuri Shtern, Chairman of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus said, "Asia is Christianity's sleeping giant. The importance of an alliance between Asian Christians and the people of Israel cannot be overstated."
