In 1977, Dr. Suchart Kosolkitiwong was elected President and served in this posi-tion up until 1989. When the Court of Justice confiscated the property of Jinnapooto Memo-rial Foundation, the Foundation stopped functioning and was closed.
Under his direction, he made strenuous efforts to materialize his peace ideal, expan-ding all-out activities especially the nationwide branch offices of the International Federation of Religions and applying the ideal to people of all walks of life. IFR’s branches were located in 52 provinces.
The IFR began to work on its inter-religious brotherhood promotion.
Later, he moved the headquarters of the Jinnapooto Memorial Foundation and the International Federation of Religions to be permanently sited at the Religious Land Hoop-pha Sawan, the proposed venue for the World Eternal Peace Conference. From this place his Religious Mission for Peace had been sent to many countries around the world, to strengthen religious brotherhood and peace cooperation among those prominent religious leaders and peace activists, introduction to them his peace ideal especially on solidifying religious and peace forces against the war mongers and proposing to them his plan to hold the international meeting to prevent war, the World Eternal Peace Conference scheduled for 1982 at the Religious Land Hooppha Sawan.
