Jonathan Seeks Global Synergy On Peacekeeping

The former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has called for global collaboration in peace-building, stressing that world leaders need to work together to be able to surmount the huge security and economic challenges faced by various nations.
The former President, who observed that peace was a product of a conscious and diligent effort, also charged those in positions of authority to strive to bequeath a more peaceful world to future generations.
Jonathan stated this, last Friday, in Seoul, capital of South Korea, in his speech at the International Leadership Peace Conference with many world leaders, including government officials, former presidents, lawmakers and entrepreneurs in attendance.
He said: “We can never overemphasize the need for global collaboration in peace-building. The stability that the world needs today for peace and security requires all voices of reason to join the effort to bring order to the chaos that stare us in the face. We need to work together as leaders to provide meaning and moral direction in every sphere of the society to realize our aspirations for a just world.
“The peace and tranquillity we observe in some countries today came through the diligent efforts of the citizens. Our generation must strive to make the world a peaceful place.”
Jonathan, who emerged as the chair of the International Summit Council for Peace (ISCP), a recently inaugurated forum of African former Heads of State, stressed that peace and stability engenders development because they create necessary conditions that cultivate, nurture and protect investments.
