“I saw young people pledging to keep their purity before marriage and couples rededicating themselves in marriage. This is the way to build a nation of peace.

“I still have fresh memories of addressing an equally large crowd on the occasion of the World Peace Blessing on the beautiful Sun Moon University Campus in South Korea. My personal meeting with Father Moon, the Founder of Universal Peace Federation, and the bond of heart we forged at that time left an unforgettable imprint of my mind. We promised to work together for the sake of world peace and the future of this nation by reviving family values. Without first creating true love and peace at home, we cannot dream of building peaceful and loving nations.”

Rt. Hon. Vice-President of Nepal. H.E. Parmanand Jha
