World Leaders to address ‘Rally of Hope’
Despite material advances and the amassing of unprecedented wealth, serious global problems remain unsolved. This is all the more striking when it is seen alongside worldwide efforts to maintain peace, resolve conflicts and end poverty by major international peace-keeping bodies, public and private.
The Little Angels Children’s Folk Ballet of South Korea, is globally known for their world-class performance as ambassadors of peace and good will. They will be performing during the pre-program of the Rally of Hope.
Territorial disputes, religious and racial discord, the collapse of family values, and an aggregate of environmental issues are flaring up on all continents. Added to this is the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused catastrophic economic debt. It seems like a perfect storm.
The speaker line up on the Rally of Hope includes current and former heads of state and government who will deliberate on ways to overcome or mitigate the challenges we face in the 21st century, from pandemics, to climate change, conflict and poverty.
Just such dilemmas drew the late Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and his wife Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon to speak out for the realization of an ideal world. Their vision: one human family bound together by the love of God. For decades, they have advocated the philosophy of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universal values which challenges us with the novel concept of seeing our own purpose in life fulfilled in the well-being of others.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, Co-Founder of the Universal Peace Federation delivers her Keynote Address in front of 6,000 world leaders from 171 nations during the Inaugural Session of the World Summit 2020 convened in Seoul, South Korea on February 5, 2020.
To emphasize these values and help address related problems, the Universal Peace Federation (an NGO in general consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations), will be hosting the latest in a series of on-line virtual summits. The Rally of Hope will be held August 9, 2020 beginning at 8:40 AM (Manila time).

Over 10,000 international delegates led by 120 current and former heads of state and government attended the World Summit 2020 hosted by the Universal Peace Federation held in Seoul, South Korea on February 5-8, 2020. This summit brought together a wide range of experts and stakeholders to offer insights and recommendations that contribute to building a world of lasting peace. The three core values that guided discussions were interdependence, mutual prosperity and universal values.

Chuichi Date, former President of the House of Councillors of Japan, and the Hon. Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the United States House of Representatives will follow.
