At invitation of minister-president Kris Peeters, three Nobel laureates for Peace visit Flanders Fields on Sunday, 3 November, 2013.
 
The Liberian Leymah Gbowee (Nobel Prize 2011) , Irish Betty Williams (Nobel Prize 1976) and the former South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk (Nobel Prize 1993) are currently in the country for the International Peace Symposium "Science for Peace" that the Government of Flanders is organising on Monday, November 4.

The peace symposium forms one of the Flemish spearheads of the Commemoration of the Great War Centenary. Visiting Flanders Fields is therefore an appropriate starting point for the symposium.

The Nobel Laureates will visit the Tyne Cot cemetery in Zonnebeke. A guided tour at the ‘In Flanders Fields Museum’ in Ypres follows and their visit ends at the Menin Gate, attending the Last Post ceremony.
 
The International Peace Symposium is an initiative of the Government of Flanders, organized by the Flemish Department of Foreign Affairs.
