The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, today issued the following statement:

“This year’s International Day of Peace puts the focus on building a culture of peace, one where dialogue, shared understanding and cooperation are cultivated and practised. A spirit of inclusiveness and respect for diversity are essential, as is respect for the human rights of everyone, without distinction of any kind, including race, gender, religion, political or other opinion, national identity or social origin. These are the preconditions for peace, upon which the survival of our global community depends.
