Peace advocates from the Indo-Pacific region and globally who met during the Global Peace Leadership Conference 2023 Indo-Pacific (GPLC 2023) to address a vision for advancing human consciousness and peace under the theme of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam from India’s Upanishads, meaning “the world is one family.” At the end of the three-day conference, whose focus areas were youth empowerment, transforming education, values-based peacebuilding, and environmental conservation, the New Delhi Declaration was adopted. 

The Global Peace Leadership Conference 2023 issued the New Delhi Declaration, calling on stakeholders to advance a comprehensive agenda for regional peace and development including youth empowerment, transforming education, values-based peacebuilding and environmental conservation.

The conference theme, “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: A Vision for Advancing Human Consciousness and Peace“ served as a foundation for the Decaration’s call to action for cross-sectoral cooperation “to take up the task of healing the world and propagating greater consciousness of shared human welfare, of creation, and of God.”
