SEOUL. – The UN-affiliated NGO based in South Korea Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) held the 5th Baltic Black Sea Forum on September 16 in the Republic of Korea under the theme: “Affirming the solidarity in maintaining peace: Better Europe and Asia – experience and prospective”.

 This was a peace meeting of former Eastern Europe presidents.

This year’s forum took place in South Korea which has been divided for 65 years, to establish the network for peace between Asia and Europe.

Former President of Romania Emil Constantinescu said, “We have seen too many fall victims to conflicts from misunderstandings. Therefore, it is important to respect each other’s values. It will serve as an opportunity to construct a new form of international relations.

“We can pursue the safety and stability by holding conversations. Instead a superficial one, the true democracy is achieved through conversations. Peace cannot be achieved under the oppressive environment. Peace that comes from the hearts of millions is true peace.”

In attendance were 116 participants from more than 50 countries including former and current heads of the state, national assembly members of each country, educators and journalists.

The “Seoul Statement” was announced and its objective is to seek methods for stregthening the solidarity of peacekeeping, based on the values of humanism, spirituality, freedom and human dignity.

Emphasising the importance of the collective efforts for building peace, Former Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Belarus Stanislaw Shushkevich said, “The peace initiatives here are sophisticated approaches that we also pursue. It is also the form of international law we have been waiting for. I’d like to thank all of your efforts and actions, and I look forward to the future after we affirm our solidarity in peace.”

The members of the Centre BBS were also invited to the peace summit held by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), the co-host of the 5th Baltic Black Sea Forum.
