As a part of the day-long program on Wednesday (21 September) JMI Group organized a press briefing session at 'Abdus Salam Auditorium’ of the National Press Club where all the speakers highlighted the significance and importance of observing the International Day of Peace while directing to generate the public awareness and gather opinions towards achieving the happiness and peace for the humanity regardless of caste, religion, and color.

The speakers shared with the audience that in the year 1981, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared a day dedicated to "commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples." The first International Day of Peace was observed in 1982, and September 21 was designated as Peace Day. Two decades later, in 2001, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the Day as a period of nonviolence and cease-fire.
