Shoghi Effendi called for the convocation of a series of Intercontinental Conferences to be held successively in Kampala, Uganda (Regional Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Central and East Africa); Sydney, Australia (National Spiritual Assembly of the
Bahá'ís of Australia); Chicago, United States (National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States of America,; Frankfurt, Germany (National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Germany and: Austria); and Djakarta, Indonesia (Regional Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of South-East Asia). [BW13:311–12; MBW125]
The five-fold purpose of the International Conferences was:
- offering
humble thanksgiving to the
Divine Author of our Faith, Who has
graciously enabled His followers,
during a period of deepening anxiety
and amidst the confusion and
uncertainties of a critical phase in
the fortunes of mankind,
- to prosecute
uninterruptedly the Ten-Year
Plan formulated for the execution of
the Grand Design conceived by 'Abdu'l-Bahá,
- of reviewing and celebrating
the series of signal victories
won so rapidly in the course of each
of the campaigns of this world-encircling
Crusade,
- of deliberating on
ways and means that will insure its
triumphant consummation,
- and of
lending simultaneously a powerful
impetus, the world over, to the vital
process of individual conversion -the
preeminent purpose underlying
the Plan in all its ramifications -
and to the construction and completion
of the three Mother Temples
to be built in the European, the
African, and Australian continents. [CBN No 94 Nov 1957 p1]

The Baha'i International Community opened a Regional Office in Jakarta. The Office engaged inter-governmental associations such as ASEAN as well as various governmental agencies, civil society organizations and research institutes in the region with a view to convening gatherings, creating spaces devoted to collective inquiry, and meaningful discussion of contemporary issues in the region of Southeast Asia.
The present work of the Office is built on the long-time presence of the Baha'i Faith in this part of the world, dating back more than a century to the 1870s. Today, Baha'is are present in all Southeast Asian countries and are actively working for the spiritual and social advancement of their neighborhoods and villages. [BIC website; BIC News]
