Ringing FOWPAL’s Bell of Peace for the World | WPN World People News

The 19th World Summit of Nobel Laureates for Peace, held in Nuevo León, Mexico, from September 18 to 21, 2024, brought together Nobel Peace Laureates, peacemakers, and leaders for panels, forums, and dialogues under the theme, “Peace and Progress: A Path to Collective Prosperity.” The summit aimed to enrich society, improve global cooperation, and create a new framework for lasting peace.

2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman is posed to ring the Bell and make a wish for peace.

Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, leader of Tai Ji Men and president of the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL), led a delegation to share the vision of the World Day of the Power of Hope. During the summit, a Bell of World Peace and Love ceremony was held, where six Nobel Peace Prize laureates rang the bell and made wishes for global peace, praying for harmony around the world.

As one of the world’s most renowned platforms for peace dialogue, the Summit was founded in 1999 by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who won the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize. Gorbachev was a pivotal figure in ending the Cold War, spearheading reforms that opened doors to peace and dialogue.
