Minister Jupally calls for Hyderabad hosting next Nobel Peace Summit

Hyderabad: Minister for Culture and Tourism Jupally Krishna Rao called for Hyderabad hosting the next edition of the Nobel Peace Summit. He made this proposal while extending heartfelt thanks to the Nobel Peace Secretariat for inviting him to the prestigious 19th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, scheduled to be held from September 18 to 21 in Monterrey, Mexico.

Due to unavoidable circumstances, the minister will be unable to attend in person. In his place, Sundeep Kumar Makthala, chairman of Tconsult and an advocate for peace in the technology sector, and Prof. Prasad Gollanapalli, chairman of the Gandhi King Foundation, will represent Telangana at this historic event.

Krishna Rao expressed deep appreciation for the summit’s role in uniting Nobel Peace Laureates and global leaders to foster strategies for a more peaceful world.

Speaking on the occasion, Krishna Rao said, “Hyderabad is a city that beautifully blends heritage with innovation. It is the perfect host for the next Nobel Peace Summit, and we are fully committed to providing all necessary support to ensure its success. This will not only elevate our state but also position India at the heart of the global peace dialogue.”
