World Leaders to Address “Rally of Hope”
Despite
material advances and the amassing of unprecedented wealth, serious
global problems remain unsolved. This is all the more striking when it
is seen alongside worldwide efforts to maintain peace, resolve conflicts
and end poverty by major international peace-keeping bodies, public and
private.
Territorial
disputes, religious and racial discord, the collapse of family values,
and an aggregate of environmental issues are flaring up on all
continents. Added to this is the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused
catastrophic economic debt. It seems like a perfect storm.
Just
such dilemmas drew the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his wife Dr.
Hak Ja Han Moon to speak out for the realization of an ideal world.
Their vision: one human family bound together by the love of God. For
decades, they have advocated the philosophy of interdependence, mutual
prosperity, and universal values which challenges us with the novel
concept of seeing our own purpose in life fulfilled in the well-being of
others.
To
emphasize these values and help address related problems, the Universal
Peace Federation (an NGO in general consultative status with the
Economic and Social Council of the United Nations), will be hosting the
latest in a series of on-line virtual summits. The Rally of Hope will be
held August 9, 2020 beginning at 9:40 AM (Korean time). The official
theme is, “One Million Rally of Hope for the Realization of a Heavenly
Unified World of Interdependence, Mutual Prosperity, and Universal
Values.”
“The
goal of these assemblies is to set a cornerstone for the realization of
a world of proactive international and interreligious collaboration for
the good of all people,” said Dr. Thomas G. Walsh, Chairman of the
Universal Peace Federation.
Ban
Ki-moon, former UN Secretary-General, will give the welcome address.
Congratulatory messages presented by international dignitaries will
follow. Interspersed with first-class entertainment, keynote addresses
will be given by H.E. Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia; H.E. Macky
Sall, President of Senegal; the Hon. Brigi Rafini, Prime Minister of
Niger and other world leaders.
Finally, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, co-founder of the Universal Peace Federation and host of the Rally, will give her keynote address.
