US EditionChina invited to join Trump's 'Board of Peace'
China acknowledged receipt of the US invitation to join Trump’s Board of Peace, a global initiative aiming to end the Gaza conflict and oversee reconstruction, involving over 60 countries.
- On Jan 20, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said, `China has received the invitation from the United States` to join President Donald Trump's Board of Peace.
- The White House last week announced the Board of Peace to support the 20-point Comprehensive Plan for Gaza, with its charter not clearly limiting its scope to Palestinian territory.
- Washington has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to join the board, with Trump chairing and retaining veto power; Bloomberg reported $1 billion grants permanent membership.
- Governments have reacted cautiously to the invitations, with diplomats warning the initiative could undermine the United Nations, while earlier this week the presidents of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Belarus accepted as founding members.
- The initiative would kick off by addressing the Gaza conflict and then expand to other situations, while Chinese officials say China–US ties have remained largely steady over the past year amid a recent trade truce.
