New York – Homemad News- HWPL

Anniversary Ceremony Held in Countries Worldwide to Spread Message of Peace
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) hosted its 10th annual World
Peace Summit on September 18. Events commemorating the anniversary were held in
approximately 40 countries around the world. In South Korea, around 100,000 people
gathered at the HWPL Peace Training Institute in Gyeonggi Province.

Led by HWPL Chairman Man-hee Lee, the anniversary ceremony centered around the
theme, “Building a Global Peace Community Through Regional Cooperation.” The event
highlighted key contributions toward achieving peace over the past decade. Strategies for
promoting global harmony were also shared.
“Let us not draw lines that divide us as ‘you’ and ‘me.’ Instead, let us unite with love and
peace to save our global village,” Chairman Lee said in his commemorative speech.
“Let us
work together to sustain precious peace and leave it as a legacy for future generations.
”
Aligned with the theme of regional cooperation, HWPL formed partnerships with the Group
of Seven Plus (g7+) and the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO) to
advance peace initiatives. The intergovernmental organization g7+ has 20 member
countries and was established to promote harmony among conflict-affected nations
through peace, stability, and development. PARLATINO, established to foster development
and integration on democratic foundations, has 23 member nations.
At the ceremony, the national campaign,
“Together: Connecting Korea, ” was launched with
an MOU signing. The campaign has been piloted in major cities in Korea since July.
Following its official launch, it will collaborate with over 230 civil society organizations to
connect generations and promote various peace activities. Chairman Lee presented an
appointment certificate to Kim Dong-hee, the head of the campaign.
The “Together” campaign will inherit the spirit of the New Village Movement, which drove
Korea’s economic development and social change in the 20th century. It will encourage
citizens to engage in various activities nationwide, aiming to overcome social conflicts
caused by divisions across generations, regions, genders, and ideologies through solidarity
and cooperation.
The campaign will also hold sessions focused on building regional networks expanding to
different sectors worldwide. With the slogan, “Let Us All Become Messengers of Peace for
the Global Village,” the campaign seeks to assign individuals roles in promoting peace.
