During the opening banquet on June 12, Mrs. Enkh-Erdene Chuluundorj, Advisor of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, the ruling party of Mongolia, gave special greetings on behalf of the international guests. On June 14 the delegates heard lectures on the Significance of Spirituality and the Religious Life and on the Significance of Marriage, Family and the Blessing. These made a deep impression on the Ambassadors for Peace. The next day of the seminar was devoted to several UPF presentations on peace initiatives, followed by sightseeing.
Ruta Pels from Estonia was attending for the second time. Since she takes part in spiritual activities in her hometown, she was very impressed by the lecture about the Significance of the Religious Life and Spirituality. She said "If the people of the world learn these values and practice them, they will change their own lives and thus change their families, nations and the world." Larisa Iefymenko from the Ukraine came for the first time. She said that for the first time in her life she was listening to the lectures with deep interest and enthusiasm about "simple truths" and common principles. She wants to promote these ideas in her country and use the materials from this conference in the Documentary Film Festival that she founded in the Ukraine.
