In response to escalating global conflicts and humanitarian crises, Religions for Peace International and Religions for Peace Japan, in collaboration with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), will convene the Third Tokyo Peace Roundtable from July 1 to July 3, 2025. This relevant gathering will bring together religious leaders from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim traditions, alongside policymakers and peacebuilding experts, to foster dialogue and promote sustainable reconciliation efforts.
The Third Tokyo Peace Roundtable will address key peacebuilding strategies, aiming to:
*Deepen trust and mutual understanding among religious leaders to support reconciliation efforts and identify challenges in meeting them.
*Facilitate meaningful interfaith dialogue, rooted in the core principles of each tradition, to advance shared commitments to peace.
*Promote multi-religious collaboration with political leaders to drive grassroots-level peace initiatives, focusing on conflict prevention and humanitarian response.
*Strengthen alliances with policymakers, intergovernmental entities, and civil society to enhance global peacebuilding efforts.
