Uganda set to host global peace festival
Uganda has been selected to host the Global Peace Festival in 2024.
The Global Peace Festival is held every year and is organised by the Global Peace Foundation (GPF), an international non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-profit organisation founded in 2009 that advocates an innovative, values-based approach to peace.
According to the organisers, the Kampala edition aims to educate parents and youth to promote African extended family values for peace and development in Uganda.
The Minister of State for Gender and Culture, Peace Regis Mutuuzo, confirmed the Government's desire and commitment to sponsor the three-day Family Peace Association event in Kampala.
Uganda, according to Minister Mutuuzo, passionately believes in and appreciates African traditional family values and welcomes the celebration to its capital.
Over 30,000 people from all over the world are scheduled to attend the much-anticipated festival.
Mutuuzo was part of a delegation from the Global Peace Foundation that included Jinman Kwak, President of the Family Peace Association International, and David Caprara, Strategic Advisor of the Global Peace Foundation US.
She lauded the Global Peace Foundation for its work to foster social cohesion in Uganda's Rwenzori area.
President Jinman Kwak also lauded Uganda for upholding and preserving traditional family values, which are rooted in God's ordained purpose of families for procreation, and echoed the need for Uganda to embrace the Family Peace Association, which has a vision of a world of peace through God-centred families and a mission of enlightening humanity by uplifting spiritual consciousness through universal principles and values rooted in God-centred families and marriages.
Kwak emphasised that families are an essential institution through which the entire human experience is shaped, character is formed, and nations are established.
He said that Uganda and Africa can only ride the transformation path if African extended family values such as living for the common good, respect for others, and a culture of dreaming big and serving society are preserved.
Kwak also emphasised the need to strengthen work relationships as well as the dedication to working together to promote these common ideals and universal standards.
In his remarks, Global Peace Foundation International Vice President David Caprara encouraged the Minister to lead the mobilisation of Ugandan leaders, youth, women, teachers, and cultural leaders to the Global Peace Leadership Conference 2024 in Kenya.
