Foundation background

The purpose of People to People is to contribute to world peace by promoting international understanding and goodwill through direct or indirect meetings between pure civilians. This is a unique activity of private diplomacy, and it also serves this purpose to contribute to the development of the community. The PTP was founded in 1956 by the late General Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States. “Everyone has a deep desire for peace in their minds. No matter how closed and dictatorial their government may be, people’s thoughts of war just want to avoid them. Because people want nothing more than a normal, peaceful world where they can freely educate their young children. I have a constant question as to why misunderstandings and quarrels continue despite such a desperate need for goodwill and goodwill among people. Then, is there no way to solve all these problems as our general public?” In this sense, General Eisenhower founded the PTP not only to complain about others, but also to contribute something to the achievement of world peace as a general public. So we’ve come together under the banner of the PTP as a result of these ideologies and of course we’re fully capable of handling some of these sublime ideologies.
Founder’s Message
We declare that all free people in the world are brothers, and we are confident that this notion will resonate vigorously around the world. We are confident that this concept of international brotherhood will transcend national barriers and help us understand a world in which peace, freedom, justice and equal sovereignty are respected by all mankind on this planet. Governments in any country have not been very helpful in instilling the seeds of international understanding in their minds. Planting this seed can only be done by the people themselves. If millions of humans can hold the hands of friendship and have conversations through personal contact It will soon be the first step in efforts to realize world peace. Under such conviction, I believe that the goal of promoting mutual understanding and friendship among the people is to promote mutual understanding As an international organization, he founded People to People, a private diplomatic movement. I hope you will all participate in this movement and contribute greatly to the realization of the noble ideology of seeking peace. October 14, 1961 at the residence of the city of Kansas Dwight D.
