We are grateful for the efforts of so many speakers, participants and listeners from different countries, Latin American and not, who have made this Forum possible, which from its different aspects has shown that there is a way of seeing and building the world that implies the establishment of cooperative human and social relations based on an attitude of active nonviolence, understanding, respect and cooperation.
In this way, different ethnic groups and cultures do not separate populations but, on the contrary, propel them towards an exchange that enriches them in their uniqueness and diversity, strengthening step by step the historical trend that weaves together peoples in the creation of a Universal Human Nation.
