3rd online Rally of Hope gathers global leaders, citizens

 
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 23 -- The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) has announced that a third global Rally of Hope was held recently, featuring world leaders who see new opportunities for peacebuilding in all sectors of society.

The online rally was held simultaneously worldwide, which produced and broadcast from Seoul, Korea. It also commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, according to a statement.

These Rally of Hope events are aimed at building a “unified world of lasting peace around the core ideas of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universal values," said UPF Chairman Dr Thomas G. Walsh.

The first Rally of Hope, held in August, "drew several million online viewers from around the world with its focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental degradation, poverty and race relations.”

UPF is building a global coalition of stakeholders and peacemakers around the core principles of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universal values.

A fourth Rally of Hope is planned for December. More details at www.upf.org.
