Seoul, South Korea— Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) marked the 10th anniversary of its Declaration of World Peace on May 25 with events in South Korea and around the world.

In Seoul, more than 5,000 people gathered at the Peace Gate of Seoul Olympic Park to participate in a peace walk and rally.

HWPL Chairman Lee Man-hee spoke at the event, calling for a renewed commitment to peacebuilding.

"Since we pledged to work together for world peace 10 years ago, we have been calling for peace all over the world," Lee said.

"We have advocated that peace should be taught at home and school and that everyone should become messengers of peace."

In South Africa, about 200 people gathered virtually to celebrate the anniversary. Hon. Baxolile Nodada, a member of the South African National Assembly, spoke at the event, emphasizing the need for peace education in schools.

"We have had many violent incidents in our South African schools," Nodada said.

"Some children have been stabbed to death in attacks on our teachers, and vice versa. It's important that this peace education that we advocate for find space in our schools so that we don't lose children at schools."

HWPL also announced its ambitious goal to garner the support of 10 million citizens through their signatures to advocate for the establishment of international law for peace.

Additionally, they have organised various overseas commemorative events aimed at fostering peace within local communities around the world.
