Of critical importance to the geopolitical dynamics of our time is the ongoing crisis on the Korean Peninsula, which impacts East Asia and the rest of the world. While efforts toward peace have prevented another war in Northeast Asia, the potential for conflict still remains and would involve the U.S., China, Russia, and Japan. It is time for a new strategy to move toward reconciliation and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula.

Featuring prominent world leaders and captivating entertainment, the Rally of Hope is uplifting, actionable and faith-based.
Why: This new and unique program empowers the ordinary citizen who seeks meaningful change in their personal life, family, community, and even globally, by participating in a movement which transcends political, religious, racial, and ideological boundaries.

The theme of the Think Tank 2022 Rally of Hope is “Steps Toward Peace in Asia: Focus on Reconciliation and Cooperation on the Korean Peninsula.” Although the Armistice Agreement brought an end to the hostilities, the Korean Peninsula continues to be a “storm center” for peace and security in the region. World leaders will speak about the risks and opportunities of resolving issues on the Korean Peninsula and steps toward peace in Asia.
Keynote Speakers: Kingdom of Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen, European Commission President
José Manuel Barroso (2004-2014), Republic of the Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (2000-2010), Republic of India Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda (1996-1997), Trinidad and Tobago President Anthony Thomas Aquinas Carmona (2013-2018), and Republic of Serbia President Nataša Mićić (2002-2004).
