Taipei, Oct. 15 (CNA) Vice President Annette Lu urged the public Tuesday to deal with conflict "through love and peace" and "to ensure world peace through religion."

Lu said that because of terrorism, civilization in the 21st century faces serious challenges. She added that people should "find the sources of all problems and seek ways to resolve them."
