On the first day of the visit last Sunday, the vice president had visited the Indonesian Mosque in Meguro of Tokyo and conducted the Tarawih prayer and gave a religious lecture.

During his lecture, Kalla reiterated the importance of the mosque's existence to encourage prosperity of the surrounding community.

"The important matter is that the existence of the mosque should have a positive impact on the prosperity of its surrounding community. The mosque should serve as the center of talks to improve the entrepreneurship spirit. The mosque should become the center of health service and education," Kalla noted.
