Closing Remarks
What a beautiful day for all of us together in the General Assembly of United Nations! I would like to express my thanks to all of you for your valuable contribution today to discuss peace and harmony, and God bless you all.
I would like to offer special thanks to His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan for his initiative for interfaith harmony and also very special thanks for the children who participated in this event.
As we close the 2012 World Interfaith Harmony Week, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all the distinguished speakers, interfaith leaders, and performers in today’s program. Many of you traveled a great distance to share this occasion and to help celebrate the splendid diversity of our human family. I also extend my thanks to the coordinator team who brought together a rich and thought-provoking program.
Today we have explored the common ground on which we can work towards the common good. We have heard uplifting stories of people working together, even in the face of armed conflict or natural disaster. We have heard voices of wisdom from our great faith traditions calling us to a world of peace, justice, and environmental sustainability.
I think you will agree with me that we have found this common ground to be a vast territory. What we have achieved today is significant. New alliances have been formed and new insights have been gained. Let each of us, those gathered here in this great hall and those joining us on the webcast around the world, assume the advancement of interfaith harmony as our personal responsibility.
As was so clearly demonstrated here today, the fruits of mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue provide great hope and opportunity to build a new era of peace for all humankind.
I thank you so much, and God bless you all.
