Mr. Man Hee Lee,
a world peace advocate, the Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), and the initiator for the cessation of a 40-year
conflict in Mindanao, Philippines, along with Ms. Nam Hee Kim, the Chairwoman
of the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG), recently embarked on a peace
journey to Romania, a country that recently celebrated the 25th
anniversary of the fall of communism, to address the topic of the peaceful
unification of the Korean peninsula and cessation of wars around the world.
Mr. Lee arrived on the 19th at the
Otopeni Airport in Bucharest. He met the current religious leaders at the
Conference Room in Bucharest Hilton Hotel and sought for their collaboration
for the unity of religions.
On the 20th, the second day, a dialogue
with the youth and religious leaders took place at the Senate Hall of the
Palace of the Parliament. Mr. Lee emphasized the enactment of the international
law for world peace and cessation of wars and unity of religions.
Mr. Lee and Ms. Kim were invited to attend the
pre-inauguration ceremony of president-elect Klaus Ionhannis on the 21st
at the Senate Hall. Mr. Lee was the very first Korean to be officially invited
as a distinguished guest at the ceremony.
Both leaders delivered
their speech concerning the peaceful unification of the Korean peninsula. Aware
of the previous national changes in Romania, Mr. Lee sought advice from the former
president Emil Constantinescu and 25 other former and current presidents
regarding the peaceful unification of the Korean peninsula.
Mr. Lee also asked for their collaboration with
HWPL, IWPG, and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) to achieve this
peaceful unification as well as the cessation of wars and world peace.
During Mr. Lee’s speech on “the necessity of a peaceful
policy for the unification of the Korean peninsula,” he introduced HWPL as an
organization that “strives for the enactment of the international law for
cessation of wars across the entire world.”
He added that “South and North Korea have made a
cease-fire agreement due to the difference in ideologies and philosophies. To
avoid this kind of situation, where a nation stands divided, we must push for
an enactment of an international law that brings wars to an end.”
During September 17 through 19, HWPL hosted the
World Alliance of Religions’ Peace Summit where 200,000 people participated for
the cessation of wars and world peace. As for the notable figures from abroad,
there were approximately 2,000 political leaders and women and youth group
leaders and 700 religious leaders from 170 different nations.
The highlight of
the Summit was the Signing Ceremony for the Unity of Religions that took place
on the 18th, where Mr. Man Hee Lee and Ms. Nam Hee Kim signed the
Unity of Religion Agreement with world’s twelve renowned religious leaders of
different denominations for the cessation of wars and world peace.
Mr. Man Hee Lee, the world peace activist, and Ms.
Nam Hee Kim, the women’s peace activist, will continue leading the world peace
movements starting from Romania where the successful results of the WARP Summit
have been explicitly displayed.
After their visit to Romania, the two leaders
will return to the Republic of Korea on the 22nd. There are high
hopes for their future activities as many notable figures around the world are
rushing to take part in the peace activities with the two leaders.
