Pakistan joined Board of Peace under UNSC Resolution 2803. In a message posted on the social media platform 'X', formerly known as Twitter, Ishaq Dar said, "Pakistan announces its decision to join the Board of Peace (BoP) in support of the Gaza Peace Plan under UNSC Resolution 2803".
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif joined other world leaders on Thursday in signing the founding charter for the “Board of Peace,” a new international body chaired by US President Donald Trump.
The ceremony took place at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, with representatives from 19 countries present to endorse the initiative.
Originally designed to oversee stability in Gaza following Israel’s two-year war on the enclave, the board’s charter now envisions a wider mandate to resolve international conflicts. Pakistan accepted Trump’s invitation to join on Wednesday, signalling support for the platform, with country’s top military commander Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also attending the signing ceremony.

BOARD OF PEACE
Trump, who serves as chairman, addressed the assembly, describing the attendees as “in most cases very popular leaders, in some cases not so popular. That’s the way it goes in life.” He emphasised that the board would work “in conjunction” with the United Nations, countering criticisms that it aims to rival 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 signed the charter alongside Trump. Permanent members are required to pay $1 billion to join, drawing criticism that the board could become a “pay to play” version of the UN Security Council.
