    On behalf of Global Dialogue Foundation, webelieve that;

    Dialogue is and should be the way ofdeveloping this world towards a brighterfuture

    Without dialogue, we cannot be understoodand helped as we deserve at the right timeand place

    We will not know about the needs of othersor express our own needs to others,therefore cannot solve issues timely,correctly and friendly, unfortunately leading

    to complications inter-connected withhumankind and society.

    As ordinary citizens from beautiful planet Earth,we will try in an ordinary manner to articulatewhat we think is important for humankind ingeneral, as well for our planet as a unique livingentity in it's own way, and with appropriatefriendly actions, try to help others with dialogue.

    The increasing diversity of our societies - be itethnic, linguistic, religious or cultural - is indeedgenerating anxiety among populations, drivingcommunities apart and putting peace,development and democracy under mountingpressure.

    New technology and new media are connectingpeople around the world in ways we could notimagine just a decade ago. The ongoingdevelopment of information and communication

    technologies is raising our awareness that weare all part of a global community. At the same

    time, they make it easier to learn about the socialand economic disparities that are widening withinand between countries.

    world.The global development agenda cannot beachieved by only focusing on economic andsocial indicators or factoring in the impact ofclimate change.

    The true potential for economic and socialdevelopment cannot be achieved without thepeaceful coexistence of cultures. Goodgovernance, therefore, involves respectingdiversity and finding ways to incorporateintercultural dialogue into the governmental

    policies and strategies that aim to play a role inachieving peace and development.

    We believe that not only the Buddhist, but also the Atheist, the Muslim, the Orthodox, the Catholic, theJew, the Protestant and the Hindu and so on aim to live a comfortable safe, peaceful life, to enjoythemselves and be happy with their families, relatives, their inheritance, and that they all feel love andsorrow, joy and grief equally. Even our anatomic structure is the same, although our outer appearancediffers in details, which is a drop in the ocean in comparison to what unites us.

    Only with this kind of well balanced material and spiritual level society, and only along this kind of wellbalanced spiritual/material path, and with dialogue, humankind can finally start to build its own future withpast negative experiences as the driving force for creating a better, brighter sustainable environment and asafer World as a masterpiece of all, as ordinary citizens from beautiful planet Earth.
