Mishaal Baten, Paraguay Correspondent
On 25 October 2025, a historic event took place in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, a Brazilian town situated at the meeting point of Argentina and Paraguay. A delegation of 22 people travelled by bus from Asunción, Paraguay, to attend the conference.
The seven-hour journey from Asunción to Foz do Iguaçu proved to be very beneficial for the local Paraguayan members and offered a valuable bonding opportunity among international Ahmadis and tabligh contacts. The Peace Conference received widespread coverage, including by Paraguayan journalist Richard Moreira, who attended the event.
Missionaries from Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina participated in the conference. Missionary Wasim Zafar Sahib of Brazil spoke on “Introduction to Islam Ahmadiyyat”. Missionary Abdun Nur Baten Sahib of Paraguay delivered a speech on “The Life and Example of the Holy Prophetsa” and missionary Marwan Gill Sahib of Argentina spoke on “The World Crisis and Pathway to Peace”.
This event was the first of its kind in South America. A Quran exhibition and a bookstall were set up, and refreshments were served to all attendees.
