In line with
the commemoration of ‘2018 World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development;
a total of 145 International officials gathered to hold a dialogue on the
agenda of peace and development at UN Headquarters.
The
conference aimed to reinforce international cooperation and ensure
intercultural dialogue as a foundation for the effective exercise of universal
human rights, responding to the necessity of the measure for integrating
cultural diversity into development frameworks and policies.
The event
that took place last week, saw several heads of social organizations, religious
leaders, women groups, youth, and media.

According to
Francisco Alberto Gonzalez, Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission
of Colombia, recognizing opportunities and dialogues is a crucial move for
peace and stable development.
“My countries have gone through one of the longest armed conflicts in
our hemisphere. Two Colombias, one with a strong state presence, and another
with a series of inequalities and no opportunities. That is why recognizing our
opportunities and dialogues are needed. We- a very diverse country- know by
experience that disarmament is not enough to create peace. We must not
underestimate the need for peace and stable development.”

His remarks
were echoed by Jan Kickert, Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission
of Austria, who said that Intercultural dialogue was necessary to bring peace
and development. He added that Media and education programs, with the help from
religious and political leaders, would make positive influences on humankind.

Attended as
a special invitee, Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL, an international peace NGO,
urged for the cooperation and support of the officials of the UN in ensuring
sustainable peace through the implementation of the international law for
peace, saying, "I’ve visited all around the world and had a number of agreements with
the former and current presidents, the chief justices, and members of the
National Assembly to end the war together.
🕋
All leaders in each country should sign the agreement for the international law to achieve peace if they love the country and the people.
▶▷▶To do this, the United Nations must work together to accomplish
the task of
peace with its spirit of peace at its
inception."
