Peace Is Something Lived | National Peace Symposium 2026

“This year’s symposium theme, ‘Absolute Global Justice – The Foundation for True Peace’, could hardly be more timely. At a moment when the world feels increasingly divided, unstable and anxious, gatherings like this matter enormously. As the local Member of Parliament and as the Secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the enormous contribution that the community makes, both nationally and here locally. And what has always struck me is that peace here is not treated as an abstract idea or simply as a slogan. It is something lived through service, charity and bringing people together.” — Gregg Stafford MP (National Peace Symposium 2026) #MTAi
