Your Excellency, Prime Minister Mosisili; Your Excellency, President Josipovic; Your Excellency, President Carmona; Mr. Benmoussa; Mr. White; Distinguished Guests; Dear Friends; Ladies and Gentlemen, Good day!
I sincerely welcome everyone to today’s World Leader Summit of Love and Peace!
Over the years, the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL) has been organizing the "World Leader Summit of Love and Peace" around the world as we believe that the gathering of kind-hearted people and like-minded friends will surely bring together positive energy to reshape the world for the better. I thank all of you for joining hands on this journey of love and peace. Through the influence of everyone here in their respective fields and through global cooperation, we will continuously awaken the conscience of people worldwide, forming a protective net of conscience to safeguard Mother Earth.
Conscience is an inherent treasure of every individual. It can guide one to distinguish good from bad, right from wrong, and truth from falsehood, as well as inspire unlimited human potential. The Federation of World Peace and Love believes that the awakening of humanity’s conscience can save the world. The pursuit of power, fame, and wealth has corrupted people’s hearts, leading to the deterioration of global conditions. The relentless abuse of the Earth’s resources has resulted in extreme climate events and a significant existential crisis for humankind. The global landscape is increasingly fraught with tension, with ongoing regional conflicts. Tangible armed conflicts and less tangible human rights violations have resulted in the loss and suffering of innocent lives. Conflicts brought about by hatred are poised to erupt, making people's hearts even more turbulent and unstable. In the face of the complex and ever-changing external environment, conscience is the key to changing the world for the better. Only when everyone acts with love and conscience, tirelessly striving for the well-being of future generations, will there be hope for global sustainable development.
Love and conscience are the protective wings for the world. To turn the corner, people must act with conscience and atone for their mistakes. Over the past twenty plus years, FOWPAL has traveled to six continents, and through various forms of cultural exchange activities, we have been spreading the message of love and peace and awakening global citizens’ sincerity, kindness, and willingness to change themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and to do their parts for themselves and the world. The "International Day of Conscience,'' observed on April 5th annually, has resonated with people worldwide, creating a powerful positive energy. With the collective awakening of conscience and the collaborative efforts of global citizens, we can change the world for the better, and nature and humanity can truly coexist and prosper.
In the face of an increasingly challenging environment, conscience is like a compass, guiding us to make the right decisions. A single thought can either promote global peace and prosperity or lead to the destruction of the Earth. Only through global unity and exercising our conscience can we turn the world around in the tug-of-war between good and evil.
Every person present today is an influential leader of conscience. We come from different parts of the world, from various cultural backgrounds, but we all share something in common: we all hold in our hands the key to activating our conscience and changing the world for the better. We look forward to sharing and exchanging experiences. We hope that everyone will be guided by conscience in their respective roles, and dedicate themselves to spreading love throughout the world to foster a culture of conscience that benefits all of humanity. Let’s save our only home and pave the way for a peaceful and sustainable future.
May all people follow their conscience and practice love and peace to create world peace for present and future generations.
Thank you all!
