The Prime Minister announced that the cabinet approved the accession to the Gaza Board of Peace.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Pakistan joined the Board of Peace for Gaza following the federal cabinet’s assent, with the expectation of achieving peace in the region.
In a media address on Saturday, the prime minister stated that Pakistan joined the Board of Peace with the expectation of fostering peace in Palestine, emphasizing that the board will reconstruct Gaza and provide tranquility in the region.
“Palestinians will attain their rights with dignity and respect.” President Donald Trump conveyed his best wishes to Pakistan. The journey to Davos was successful. The Prime Minister stated that the meeting with Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, was productive, and the fund leader commended the economic changes implemented by Pakistan.
Pakistan became a member of the Board of Peace pursuant to UNSC Resolution 2803. Ishaq Dar said on the social media platform ‘X’, previously known as Twitter, that “Pakistan has decided to join the Board of Peace (BoP) in support of the Gaza Peace Plan under UNSC Resolution 2803”.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with other global leaders, signed the founding charter for the “Board of Peace,” a new international organization chaired by US President Donald Trump, on Thursday.
The event occurred during the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, with delegates from 19 nations present to support the project.
The board, first established to ensure stability in Gaza during Israel’s two-year conflict with the enclave, now anticipates a broader authority to address international disputes. On Wednesday, Pakistan accepted Trump’s request to join, indicating support for the platform, with the nation’s foremost military leader, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also present at the signing ceremony.
Pakistan has declared its intention to join the Board of Peace pursuant to UNSC Resolution 2803, according to Dar.
PEACE BOARD
Trump, in his capacity as chairman, addressed the conference, characterizing the guests as “generally prominent leaders, though in some instances less esteemed.” Such is the nature of existence. He underscored that the board would operate “in conjunction” with the United Nations, addressing allegations that it seeks to compete with the UN.
Leaders and senior officials from Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, the UAE, and Uzbekistan executed the charter in conjunction with Trump. Permanent members must contribute $1 billion for membership, eliciting accusations that the board may evolve into a “pay to play” equivalent of the UN Security Council.
