Ambassador for UPC

Sheikh Kasem Bader, the world leader of the Druze community, has appointed Rev. Jan-Aage Torp as an ambassador of Universal Peace Council (UPC), which comprises leaders from many faiths and professions in several nations.

In a statement on Sunday, Sheikh Kasem said that he has discussed the appointment of Rev. Torp with several leaders who agree that Jan-Aage is a peacemaker with great influence around the world.

Jan-Aage was introduced to Sheikh Kasem in 2022 in Israel by the Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum.

The Druze are a peace-loving religious community that live in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Venezuela, United States and several other nations. 

In Israel they are respected for their significant contributions to the State of Israel.

Even in Norway, Jan-Aage & his wife Aina are building a mutually respectful relationship with the Druze community in the Oslo area.
