KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 -- The upcoming World Summit 2022 (Summit for Peace on the Korean Peninsula) will gather world leaders and a worldwide virtual audience around topics related to peaceful reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula.
According to a statement, the Feb 10-13 Summit in Seoul, South Korea, is sponsored by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) and the Kingdom of Cambodia.
It will feature keynote speakers from around the world on a range of topics related to the peaceful reconciliation of the Korean Peninsula. Many speakers are from the 157 countries that have diplomatic ties with both North and South Korea.
World Summit 2022 is hosted by UPF Co-Founder Dr Hak Ja Han Moon, and co-chaired by Samdech Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, and Ban Ki-moon, former United Nations Secretary-General (2007-2016).
A highlight of the Summit is the 5th Sunhak Peace Prize Award Ceremony, to be held on Feb 12, which will honour Oxford University vaccinologist Prof Sarah Gilbert and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance for their efforts to serve humanity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hun Sen will be honoured with the 2nd Sunhak Peace Prize Founder’s Award, which is given to recognise distinguished world leaders who demonstrate significant accomplishments for peace throughout their careers.
The Sunhak Peace Prize, founded in 2013 by Dr Moon to honour the legacy of her late husband Rev Dr Sun Myung Moon, is intended to “find and scale up the best peace solutions we can find,” organisers said at a Feb 7 press conference to announce the 2022 Laureates.
Speakers include Chring Botum Rangsay, Cambodian Ambassador to South Korea; Jose Manuel Barroso, chairman of the Sunhak Peace Prize; and Sunhak Peace Prize leaders, Washington Times Chairman Thomas P. McDevitt, Dr Nam In-seog and Dr Yun Young-ho. Laureates receive a cash prize, medal and plaque.
World Summit 2022 is part of UPF’s ongoing series of peacebuilding activities, which are held under the theme of mutual prosperity, interdependence and shared universal values.
