He said that celebrating the day was a ‘Call to Action for a Peaceful World’, adding, “the day serves as a global reminder of the importance of peace and non-violence in our lives.
Musa said, “Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981, this day is dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace and promoting a culture of peace, mutual understanding, and cooperation.”
He said the significance of the day was more than just a celebration, adding

Musa said in a world facing numerous challenges, including conflicts, inequality, and social injustice, it was more important than ever to work towards a culture of peace.
“Promoting peace in our daily lives, so how can we promote peace in our daily lives.
