AboutGlobal Peace Leadership Conference Indo-Pacificoverview

India’s rich and varied spiritual heritage has profoundly influenced human civilization. Among the great treasures of the Indian tradition is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the maxim that the world is one family. It expresses a simple yet essential truth about our shared human identity that provides a compelling basis for global cooperation in resolving conflicts, building peace, and advancing the well-being of all. Given India’s unique heritage and key leadership role in the region and world, it offers a most fitting context to examine the civilizational implications of universal principles and their practical applications for peacebuilding. Thus, co-organizers and partners are organizing the Global Peace Leadership Conference Indo-Pacific (GPLC) in New Delhi, India on April 11-13, 2023, with the theme “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: Vision for Advancing Human Consciousness and Peace.”
