True to the founding principles of GCF, the event showcased religious, cultural, political and even business diversity by inviting leaders excelling in various sectors on a common platform. The significance of religious unity is crucial to the process of ‘going beyond’ religion. Spiritual and religious leaders from various faitha focused on the need for each religion to align itself to principle of ’One God’ for the creation of a more unified world order.
The event also focused on Asia as an emerging entrepreneurial and technological hub. Representatives from the field of economics and business were invited to outline the mantras for the success of Asian markets in the 21st century. The role of technology in changing mind sets to encourage new entrepreneurs was a key point of discussion. As a result of these discussions there was a call for action for the creation of a forum that provides a platform to resolve issues affecting society and highlight the successes of a particular region/field. The Global Citizen Forum movement was thus formally initiated by Dr. M (BK Modi) to unite concerned citizens of the planet to find effective solutions to international problems for the creation of a cohesive world order.
