In her view the will and the decision to reach out to others with an open heart to highlight similarities in fundamental needs, concerns, values and aspirations \u00a0is the premise of friendship that can pave the way for peace and prosperity for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
