Chingonzo, who is the reigning Miss World Universities Continental Queen (Africa), said the event was part of the JCI’s Global Peace is Possible campaign designed to facilitate collaborations and open dialogue among all sectors of society in pushing for peace.
“The campaign aims to mobilise young people worldwide to create awareness, advocate, take action and commit to an everlasting world peace and the worldwide adoption of the global goals for sustainable development, which is just one step toward achieving this peace,” she said.
The theme on the evening would be Peace and Justice — The world We Want (by 2030).
JCI director Chipo Mpemba said the event was aimed at, among other things, celebrating International World Peace Day in unionism, while mapping the way forward on how all stakeholders could contribute to the building of peace.

Peace organisations, the civic, private and public and private sector were expected to attend the commemorations.
