On the occasion of Africa Day, May 25, the Universal Peace Federation extends its congratulations and best wishes to the African Union and all its member states, and the 900 million people of Africa.
As well as celebration, Africa Day is an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing Africa and the world as we move into the second decade of this new millennium.
UPF is working through its chapters worldwide to promote dialogue and cooperation among religions, including the creation of an interreligious council at the United Nations; strengthen marriage and family, essential to end the scourges of poverty and AIDS; and promote service and good-will projects in and between nations to establish a culture of peace.
The UPF is committed to promoting peace and human development in all parts of the world. We are proud of our chapters throughout Africa — from the West to the East, from the North to the South — brothers and sisters who are working to build a world of lasting peace and help achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
We look forward to exploring the ways in which we can support the work of the African Union, along with the United Nations, toward a world of peace and prosperity for all.
