Referring to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Chaudhry But said that all wars can be overcome by "talking peace and talking peace sincerely. Peace is the most misused, misunderstood and underrated word," he said, noting that even the absence of war is sometimes wrongly considered the prevalence of peace.”


"I come from the country of Gandhi and a country where people have made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of peace. I was born in the country of Buddha who redefined himself and the world for peace," he added.


During his speech, Chaudhary also paid tribute to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed al Nahyan, President of UAE who passed away some days ago.


"I shall start with a word of condolence for the people and the royal family of the UAE on the sad demise of President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed al Nayhan. He was a visionary and a reformer who leaves behind a rich legacy that will shape the future of this country and this region," said Sudhir Chaudhary.
