Tomorrow reminds us of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, which targeted the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in this tragedy, which sent shockwaves around the world.

September 11 has become a day to honor the victims and reflect on counterterrorism efforts and international peace. Beyond the loss of innocent lives, it also had a profound impact on global security, anti-terrorism measures, and foreign policy.

Every year on this day, we remember the victims and think about what we can do for peace — how we should face terrorism and violence, and how to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again. Remembering the past is essential to building a safer future.

I hope this day inspires us all to think deeply about peace and security.
