With an opening ceremony akin to that of the Olympic Games, the World Alliance of Religions for Peace Summit which took place on September 17-19, 20014 in Seoul, South Korea brought together about 200,000 people from more than 2,000 international political, religious, civil and traditional society leaders to participate in the signing ceremony of the Unity of Religions agreement which calls for the cessation of all wars and vowing to work together to establish world peace.
Oussama Jammal, USCMO Secretary General, was invited to the World Alliance of Religions Peace Summit 2014 (WARP Summit) where the ceremony took place as part of the International VIP delegations where ways for cooperation and propagating the message of peace were discussed. The Summit was hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, and Restoration of Light (HWPL) and was attended by political leaders—including former and current heads of state, first ladies, prime ministers and ministers from 30 countries—religious leaders, members of interfaith and peace organizations, and reporters from all across the world.
“The Summit was truly a festival of peace and hope for the future. It was outstanding” said Oussama Jammal, secretary general of USCMO “People of power and influence have to promote every effort that can establish peace and harmony among people. This is what the Quran mandate us to do.”
The WARP Summit commenced with the Festival of Lights on September 17, with a spectacular opening ceremony, but it was September 18 that saw major activity when the summit delegations convened to sign the Unity of Religions agreement.
The Summit concluded with a Peace Walk which took place at the Peace Square of Seoul Gate which was also attended by the about 200,000 attendees of the summit.
