Echoing the urgent call for a ceasefire from the recent We Care for Humanity (WCH) peace conference, a growing international movement for peace has found another powerful voice. The Association of Air Transport and Travel Agents of Iran (AATTAI) has issued a landmark official statement, calling on journalists and tourism professionals worldwide to unite in a shared mission to heal a world fractured by conflict.
The message, authored by AATTAI’s Secretary General, Dr. Hormatallah Rafiei, aligns with the spirit of the WCH summit, where global leaders and advocates converged to seek solutions for peace. Dr. Rafiei’s statement identifies two key pillars for building global solidarity: the freedom to travel and the freedom of expression.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF PEACE
From the Association of Air Transport and Travel Agents of Iran (AATTAI)
"In a world marked by rising conflict, fragmentation, and the erosion of trust, the Association of Air Transport and Travel Agents of Iran (AATTAI) expresses its profound belief in the shared power of tourism and journalism to foster peace, understanding, and human solidarity.
We address this message of peace to all journalists across the globe — those who, through courage, truthfulness, and an unwavering commitment to freedom of expression, serve as voices of conscience in a time that urgently needs clarity and compassion.
We believe that the freedom to move and the freedom to speak are two vital pillars of human connection. As travelers cross borders with curiosity and respect, and as journalists report with honesty and integrity, both become ambassadors of truth, dismantling stereotypes, uncovering common ground, and nurturing empathy across divides.
The people of Iran, inheritors of a deep and diverse cultural heritage, understand well the value of dialogue over silence, bridges over walls, and stories over slogans. We at AATTAI extend our hand in friendship to all journalists and reaffirm our hope for a future where journalism and tourism unite not only in purpose but in peace.
Let us walk together in this shared mission, to illuminate, to connect, and to build a more compassionate world."
With deepest respect,
DR. HORMATALLAH RAFIEI Secretary General Association of Air Transport and Travel Agents of Iran (AATTAI)
