Global effort to promote peace

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Dalai Lama and former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam will be the chief guests at the launch of the Global Foundation for Civilisational Harmony (India), a global initiative for conflict avoidance with Indian and Eastern perspective. The launch ceremony will be held this coming Tuesday at the Chinmaya Mission Hall here.

The GFCH idea is founded on the basic assumption that the Indian and Eastern faiths and civilisations, with their long tradition of peaceful coexistence with diverse faiths and gods, have the propensity and potential to avoid conflicts among faiths, the faithful and gods.

The GFCH has been conceived and designed to evolve as a platform to network diverse religious and civilisational forces in India and in the East and other ancient faiths and civilisations in the world.

The principle aim of the GFCH in undertaking this exercise is to enhance the initiative and participation of ancient faiths and civilisations in a comprehensive and honest global dialogue to promote the conflict avoidance potential and propensities of different faiths.
