I attended the closing ceremony of MMUN — Montessori Model United Nations at the ESCAP Conference Hall. MMUN is a global platform where Montessori schools from around the world come together under one roof to discuss pressing international issues, exchange ideas, and promote dialogue on global challenges. Before entering the ESCAP Conference Hall, we had the pleasure of meeting the UNPKFC Young Peace Ambassadors—the youth wing of UNPKFC. It was truly a delight, and I was very happy to meet them. I attended the closing ceremony of MMUN — Montessori Model United Nations at the ESCAP Conference Hall, a truly global forum where Montessori schools from across the world unite to debate pressing international issues, share perspectives, and engage in meaningful dialogue on global challenges. Today, I also had the honor of addressing 300 young MMUN participants from around the world, sharing insights and inspiring the next generation of global leaders. The student delegates of MMUN were very receptive, disciplined and well aware of global issues. As Chairperson of UNPKFC and Founding Director/CEO of IG-SI I told the students to focus on implementing 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to make this world a better place. I explained my role in UN PeaceKeeping Operations and concept of Protection of civilians which is the main mandate of UN Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding I told them that there are two purposes of life. Inner and outer purpose of life. We all pursue outer purpose of life which is happiness, success, prestige, financial stability but ignore the inner or spiritual purpose of life. The inner purpose of life is to alleviate the sufferings of other people We must align our inner purpose of life with our outer purpose of life if we want meaning in our lives. First 6 SDGs relate to people. We must implement them to help and alleviate the suffering of humanity.
