Merry X’mas, let’s pray for global peace … Happy New Year, make upholding peace your resolution

As we rejoice and celebrate another Christmas, as we welcome another New Year, lasting global peace is mankind’s greatest challenge today.

We wish all a very happy and joyous Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
