Amplify the power of hope across the globe, fostering peace, prosperity, and sustainable development.

 

On March 4, 2025, the United Nations General Assembly madea historic decision by adopting a draft resolution that officially designates July 12 as the"International Day of Hope." The resolution aims to amplify the power of hope across the globe, fostering peace, prosperity, and sustainable development. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to inspire positive action in the face of global challenges. The establishment of the International Day of Hope is a testament to the power of perseverance, collaboration, and unwavering belief. When global citizens are guided by conscience, embrace hope, and unite for the greater good, a better world becomes possible. Celebrating the first International Day of Hope at the United Nations Headquarters following its adoption carries significance. This annual commemoration will serve as a reminder that humanity can overcome adversity together, reignite hope, and illuminate the path toward sustainable peace and harmony. The meeting will focus on effective implementation and inspiring more like-minded individuals toward hope for existence and harmony with others. Our goal is to create awareness about the International Day of Hope, establish a collaborative platform for governments and non-governmental organizations to exchange ideas and share diverse perspectives on humanity and“Hope”. Strengthening the power of “Hope” through this meeting will contribute to transforming the world, paving the way for a sustainable future for all. It will further provide insight into fostering peace, prosperity, and sustainable development through “Power of Hope” for a failing system. Leaders will share their experiences, insights, and visions to promote the spirit of cooperation in building Hope as well as strategies that will help restore Hope in a failing generation. We believe that by the end of this meeting, the value and significance of promoting the power of hope will be intensified, encouraging people around the world to confront the global crisis we face today with Hope that inspires action and unites love and conscience to overcome challenges and realize our shared goals.
