Angola is the first country in Southern Africa to receive the Peace Bell

This Friday Angola became the first country in Southern Africa to receive the World Peace Bell. Among the reasons that led the country to join this movement is the recognition of the role played by the Angolan authorities in the cause of peace, concord, solidarity and friendship between peoples and nations, which is in line with the National Development Plan 2018/2022 and the strategy of good governance defined by the Government.

To mark this recognition, the Peace Bell will be installed at the Palace of Justice in Luanda.

Carolina Cerqueira, Minister of State for the Social Area, quoted by Angop, considered this distinction a pride for the population and admitted that this recognition also represents a challenge: that there is a strengthening of social cohesion and for society to become more just and democratic.

The minister classified this challenge as crucial to be able to live in peace.

She also emphasized the role played by young people and women in fostering peace, based on strengthening trust and respect for the values and practices of citizenship.

Guilhermina Prata, vice-president of the Constitutional Court, considered that the installation of the Peace Bell in the country is synonymous with Angola's commitment to maintain peace and preserve democracy.

He reminded that it is necessary to foster harmony among the population so that the joy of Angolans is maintained.

The World Peace Bell began in 1954 at the UN headquarters in New York. As tradition dictates, the bell is usually rung on September 21, the day that marks the International Day of Peace and March 20, the day that celebrates Earth Day.
