Cambodian government seeks peace-building with a NGO
The
Ministry of Education of Cambodia has built cooperation with
an international peace NGO, HWPL, since it signed an MOA
last year to introduce nation-wide peace education and
develop related policies and programs. H.E. Hang Chuon
Naron, the Minister of Education says, “From this
launching ceremony, we step forward to the implementation
level to integrate ideas of peace education into the
curriculums in Cambodian schools. Along with the national
efforts, the Ministry of Justice and Cultural Human
Resources Council (CHRC) of Cambodia also join in
cooperation to forge the substantive peaceful society. A
peace forum, Sang-dae Lee, the Chief
Branch Manager in Jeonbuk branch states, “This series of
peace events strengthens cooperative partnership between the
government of Cambodia and HWPL, international network for
development through education, and overall facilitation of
Cambodia-Korean friendship. On 21st and 22nd, February,
Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL as a peace activist will appeal
to Cambodia by highlighting that all people become
messengers of peace to achieve a world of peace.” HWPL and the Great Supreme Patriarch of Kingdom
of Cambodia have had international exchanges including
Religious Youth Peace Camp in Cambodia, 2017. Since 2016,
His Holiness Tep Vong, the Great Supreme Patriarch of
Kingdom of Cambodia, visited the HWPL Peace Summit in South
Korea to deliver messages of peace to the
globe.
The DPCW, the Declaration of Peace and
Cessation of War, addresses principles of conflict
resolution and international cooperation for peacebuilding
such as prohibition of use of force, peaceful dispute
settlement, and spreading a culture of peace, within 10
articles and 38 clauses.
