The 12th Symposium on the Role of Religion and Faith-Based Organizations in International Affairs wrapped earlier this month on May 5.
Bringing together faith leaders, youth, Indigenous representatives, and civil society, the symposium explored how dignity, compassion, and equality can move beyond dialogue and into meaningful grassroots action.
A recurring message throughout the discussions: strengthening multilateralism starts with people. It requires investing in relationships, inclusion, participation, and representation to ensure that no one is left behind.
Together, we continue building a more compassionate and accountable global community.
