M.A. Elahi: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“How can we bring peace in a world suffering from war, violence, crime, corruption, confusion, pain, poverty, extremism, terrorism, intolerance, misunderstanding, misconception, deception, dishonesty? The first step is dialogue! People of wisdom and dignity coming from all over the world to share ideas for world peace!”
D. Burton: Address to World Summit 2020

“In 2016 in the U.S. Senate Dirksen Building, Mother Moon, together with 120 members of Congress, hosted by Senator Orrin Hatch, founded the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace, imbuing it with a powerful vision and total investment of heart to achieve peace, freedom, and prosperity throughout the world. A number of us have put forth some suggestions of issues that impact every person on earth, and that might be worthy concerns for this organization to consider during the coming decade.”
L. Sanchez: Address to World Summit 2020

“We are the luckiest generation. We have experienced more freedom, leisure time, education, medicine, and travel than any people in history. Great ideas keep coming. The more we prosper, the more we can prosper. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. Almost everything is subject to diminishing returns. But the world of ideas is not: The ever-increasing exchange of ideas causes the ever-increasing rate of innovation in the modern world. We will never exhaust our supply of ideas, discoveries, and inventions.”
S. Yoon: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“The formidable nuclear threats from North Korea are shaking the foundation of world peace and security. South Korea is the very concerned party of these threats and likely to be directly hit by a possible attack. That is why we should be the most exemplary nation following the sanction measures to achieve complete implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution.”
Y. Ohno: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“In order to maintain peace, there is much stronger power than defense and diplomatic power. That is human relationship. We could call this sort of human relations 'peace power.' Let’s push forward this peace power. In order to strengthen peace power, let’s promote an exchange of people at all levels, particularly at the level of young people. Exchange of students is called 'ambassadors from the future.' They will surely bring peace on this earth.”
D. Rohrabacher: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be on Reagan’s team when we were able to defeat the primary force of evil on the planet: the communist Soviet Union, and we did it without a major war that would have slaughtered millions. How did we do that? We championed the same values that have brought us here today and we helped those fighting for their freedom. We made the enemy of our enemy our friend. It became known as the Reagan Doctrine.”
K. Chanawongse: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“The extent of globalization can be measured by many variables, each with its own paradigm related to many globalization aspects: economics (trade, finance, FDI, portfolio investment, incomes...); political; social; cultural… This process has interrelated effects on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development, prosperity, security, and on human well-being in societies around the world.”
V. Rosca: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Now, probably more than ever, we are living in moments of peace, but this global peace is very weak and needs reliable partners, visionary leaders. Leaders who are open to collaboration with all the states of the world, regardless of the size of the state, its wealth or military power.”
F. Rehuher-Marugg: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“As global citizens it is our responsibility to unite our efforts to secure peace and mutual prosperity in our respective regions to promote human development and growth in all aspects of life. We must collaborate, extend cooperation and work in harmony in order to achieve our common goals.”
B. Cubin: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Contact every city councilman you know, every county representative, state legislator, congressman, senator, every priest and pastor, every friend and relative. Tell them action is needed in an area of the world to help establish or protect peace. If we established a hot line so we could communicate with partners around the world, we could stop a crisis from happening. Tell your contacts; the more free people who understand a situation, the more local pressure there is for governments to ease or solve an issue.”
J. Mica: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“Our citizens cannot prosper if they live in turmoil brought about by radical acts of violence or trafficking of illegal narcotics. Only by nations joining together can we succeed in resolving the major obstacles we currently face. It is my belief that that will be the only path to bringing security and safety to our countries and the world.”
K. Sudary: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“The biggest question is not about what and how; it is about the will to bring about positive peace that paves the way for social and economic development based on rules of law and respect for universal values.”
N. Bush: Address to World Summit 2020
February 4, 2020
“I often think about how amazing the path of human development has been. How a relatively weak and disorganized species that faced threats to survival by the natural elements and by fierce predators has evolved into the dominant force on earth. Humans have a unique ability to record findings, findings that are passed down from generation to generation, with know-how always advancing. The sharing of these findings have led to remarkable medical, engineering, and scientific breakthroughs.”
G. Jonathan: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“A peaceful family unit entrenched in strong bonds of kinship, ethics and a well-established tradition of honor will fight insecurity and terrorism better than any weapons. This is because if we pay more attention to the imperative of producing well-adjusted, rational human beings, it will dry up the human supply lines that feed the cells of terrorists.”
A. Tong: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“As a region, our people in the Pacific represent one of the most vulnerable communities to the threats posed by climate change. Our very survival as viable nations in the future is seriously being threatened.”
T. Walsh: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“The summit series of UPF is part of a coordinated, growing and momentum-building peace movement, one that brings a breath of fresh air, hope, opportunity and innovation to a world that is often confused, troubled, with a tragic breakdown of both values and institutions.”
C. Date: Address to World Summit 2020 Opening Banquet
February 3, 2020
“I would like to express my respect to Dr. Moon, who has circumvented the Earth four times last year alone to promote world peace, inheriting Reverend Moon’s will.”
A. Nailatikau: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“For a Pacific Islander from the Oceania region where our conflicts have more to do with our changing climate than with each other, why does peace in the Korean Peninsula or anywhere in the world matter to us? I will tell you now that we can only move forward together, we can only succeed and truly overcome all of our nation’s problems together.”
D. Clarke: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“Dear friends, good times lie ahead. That day is coming, that day is getting closer, that day will soon be here when we will indeed see ‘One Family Under God.’”
P. Jha: Address to World Summit 2020
February 3, 2020
“The artificial division of Korea into North and South has been the cause of tension and conflict for so many years and, therefore, the time has come to work sincerely towards creating favorable conditions for the peaceful reunification of Korea, which is in the best interest and wellbeing of the people of the Korean Peninsula and is also in the larger interest of world peace.”
