T. Tupua Address to World Summit
- Friday, February 8, 2019
“Peace is not about the absence of violence. It is about the presence of heavenly harmony. Security is similarly about living in a state of peace rather than having access to protection from harm. Human development is finding balance despite an environment of imbalance.”

“Steps are quickly being taken in preparation for the second North Korea - U.S. Summit. Kim Yong-Chol visited the White House and hand-delivered a letter from Kim Jong-Un to President Donald Trump during a 90-minute meeting. Stephen Biegun, United States Special Representative to North Korea, says that the three-day meeting with North Korean diplomat Choi Sun-Hee and Republic of Korea negotiator Do-Hoon Lee in Stockholm was “constructive.” As denuclearization moves forward, the establishment of a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula will become the primary topic of discussion.”

“There is a global network of Ambassadors for Peace today, sowing the good seeds of harmony and bringing peaceful solutions to problems.

“Understandably, we base our policies on statistics and numbers, on sound economics and on realistic financial projections. But all of this will prove to be futile if, whatever our provenance is, we ignore universal values like solidarity, honesty, mutual respect, fairness, truthfulness, tolerance, equality, and respect for life from conception to natural death. All of us must make our voice heard in defense of strong value-based politics.”

“I believe that in all our roles we can follow these slogans, rising from the Czech Reformation and the Bible: Love, truth to everyone. Let everything spontaneously flow; let violence be distant to us. Truth and love must win over lies and hatred. Do not be indebted to anyone except to love one another.”
