<p>Reconciliation and peace figured prominently during the first session of WION’s 'Global Summit: Mission Peace' in Dubai where speakers made a fervent call for global peace.</p>

<p>The first session was titled ‘Waving the white flag on armed conflicts’.</p>

<p>It was joined by speakers:</p>

<p>1) Jane Holl Lute, former deputy secretary, US homeland security</p>

<p>2) Marko Mihkelson, chairman of foreign affairs committee, Estonia</p>

<p>3) Yasuhide Nakayama, former Japanese state minister of defence, and</p>

<p>4) Shahmahmood Miakhel, former deputy minister of interior, Afghanistan.</p>

<p>The session was moderated by Palki Sharma Upadhyay, Managing Editor, WION.</p>

<p>Speaking on the Russian-Ukraine war, which is believed to have been triggered by the so-called NATO expansion wherein Kyiv tried to join the US-led military alliance, Mihkelson said, “I don't think there's something called NATO expansionism. NATO can't expand or force people to join the defence alliance.”</p>

<p>Mikhelson agreed that sanctions “are the last resort”, adding that “war machines getting money and resources must be punished to end conflicts as soon as possible”.</p>

<p>This view was concurred by Lute who said, “If you want to prevent the spread and continuation of violence, you need to create military and financial fire breaks, and sanctions are designed to do that.”</p>

<p>Wading into the issue, Japan’s former minister of defence Yasuhide Nakayama said, “Not just Europe, even Japan faces threat from Russian activities.”</p>

<p>Drawing parallels from the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict, when asked about the China-Taiwan tensions, Nakayama said, “Xi Jinping is smart. I don't think he is going to invade Taiwan. But there is some possibility. I think he will be weighing his options. One is the peaceful way and the other option is force&nbsp;by the military action. And the kind of options he chooses will depend on who the superpower is—which is the USA.”</p>
