UPF International Leadership Conference
Seoul, Korea, February 18, 2010
Unofficial notes from the English translation from the Portuguese

Every kind of communication technology is available to us today, by the grace of God. We are talking here, and the whole world can listen to us. This is not only a dream, but we have the opportunity to reach the world with the message of peace. We can renew our hope every day that we can make peace a reality. We have found a good way to do it.

We are a small group, but people are starting to believe that one day true dialogue will break down walls. The walls of the Soviet Union fell down peacefully. Many other barriers have fallen not by violence but through dialogue. We should continue this dialogue.

We are working hard in Brazil. We are here to give our word of support. We have a big opportunity to break all the barriers. We can do it. It depends on each one of us.

Peace starts from a family. At the World Peace Blessing, we saw thousands of couples committing themselves to peace. Strong families and strong nations can bring peace. Working for peace will give our lives value.

I give my words of support and hope to have further opportunities to work together.
