In front of an audience of Parliamentarians, Ambassadors of State, academics and a range of other guests, the Khalifa advocated the urgent need for justice as a means to develop world peace in the face of increasing tensions and conflicts in various parts of the world. Indeed, His Holiness deemed the establishment of world peace as "the critical need of the time".

Speaking about the disastrous consequences of modern warfare, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:

"The means of today's wars include aerial bombardment, poison gas and even chemical weapons and there is also the potential use of the most horrific weapon of all - the nuclear bomb. Consequently, the wars of today are entirely different to those of the past, because today's wars could potentially wipe mankind from the face of the earth." 
His Holiness explained the methods by which Islam teaches Muslims to spread peace around the world. The Khalifa said that for true peace to prevail, the highest standards of justice must be established. He said the Quran required for absolute justice and equality at all levels.

Dr Rajen Prasad, MP, said:

"It is a pleasure to welcome His Holiness to the New Zealand Parliament. I have always been very impressed at how Ahmadis live their lives as citizens of the nation and practice their message of peace."

Upon the conclusion of the event, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad met with various dignitaries including the Ambassadors of Iran and Israel. His Holiness was then given a tour of Parliament by Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi MP and thereafter His Holiness led the Zuhr and Asr prayers at the Parliament.
