World Summit 2020 featured a Global Assembly of the Interreligious Association for Peace and Development (IAPD), which was held during three sessions on February 4 and 5 at the KINTEX Center. The IAPD Assembly focused on the theme “Toward a World of Lasting Peace: The Role of Religion, Interreligious Dialogue and Faith-Based Organizations.” After a candlelit prayer, the resolution of the 2020 Interreligious Association for Peace and Development was read and signed by more than 2,000 religious leaders from around the world. The resolution emphasized three determinations: first, to become people of faith who “bring about interdependence among religions”; second, to pursue peace in the world and on the Korean Peninsula by encouraging “mutual prosperity among all religions”; third, to pursue a world in which people and nature relate “based on universal values centered on God.” The welcome remarks were delivered by Buddhist, Moslem and Christian representatives. They honored the work and example of UPF co-founder Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, affectionately referred to as Mother Moon, and praised her lifelong standard “to give love and forget that you gave it,” and the peace movement which strives to uphold “one human family under God.”
