A delegation from the “United States of the World” and the “Fondazione Mediterraneo” took part in the “Global Peace Summit 2026”, held in Paris from 28 to 31 January 2026. The event brought together young leaders, diplomats and peace workers. 
The event featured a special session hosted at UNESCO Headquarters and was organised by Global Peace Chain to discuss youth diplomacy, soft power and conflict resolution. 
Secretary-General Michele Capasso highlighted the importance of the role of young people in diplomacy and conflict resolution, “taking on challenges vital to the future of humanity”.
“The aim of all of us committed to peace,” said Capasso, “is also to bridge the gap between young people and decision-making circles, offering them examples of good practice and an understanding of international institutions and political contexts.” Beyond the formal sessions, this important event at the start of a difficult year must give a central place to intercultural exchanges and international cooperation. The diversity of backgrounds, origins and experiences must, now more than ever, foster a rich and open dialogue, conducive to the creation of lasting bonds”.
