Senegal was the first country in Africa, with which president Moon Jae-In, who was inaugurated in May of last year, held a summit together. In September of last year, president Moon Jae-In left for America in order attend the UN General Assembly, along with Senegalese president Macky Sall. President Macky Sall said: “Regarding the situation of the Korean Peninsula, I will consistently offer my support to Korea. As a non-permanent member of the UN, Senegal will loyally fulfill the UN mandate and cooperate in taking actions regarding the North Korean nuclear weapon issue.

Now, President Macky Sall showed that his intentions didn’t change, by hosting the “2018 Africa Summit” in cooperation with the Senegalese government and the UPF (Universal Peace Federation), in the Dakar International Congress center, on January 18-19. The Africa Summit was held featuring the “mutual prosperity and universal value of a New Heavenly Africa.” Along with President Macky Sall, the former and incumbent Senegalese presidents, tribal leaders and the founder of UPF, totaling 1,200 people, attended.

There, President Macky Sall emphasized: “Peace has to become a life choice, rather than only a wish.” He said, ”The history of war was a tragedy of the entire world, which was handed down from generation to generation. No matter where war breaks out, it causes only destruction and bloodshed, purity being trampled upon, the grief of orphans and widows and the pain of bereaved families. The thing that makes all people become one is humanity. Regardless of which religion you believe in, whether it is Judaism, Christianity, Islam or other, humanity should always be the highest priority. I will put my effort into restoring this humanity and for the mutual prosperity of Africa.
