US President Donald Trump formally announced the proposed Board of Peace on Thursday (22 January 2026) on the sidelines of the annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos. During this time India was not present on the stage. India had received an invitation to join the initiative, but has not yet officially accepted or rejected the proposal. However, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was present at the signing ceremony.
To whom did both of them point from the stage?
While signing Trump’s Board of Peace, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif whispered something in the ear of the US President. After this, both the leaders started laughing by pointing towards the crowd sitting in front. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who grew up at the mercy of America, does not leave any chance to appear close to Trump.
Apart from India, these countries did not participate
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among several global leaders invited by the US President to join the board announced as part of the phase two ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Apart from India, France, Britain, China, Germany and many other major countries also remained absent from the unveiling ceremony of the ‘Peace Board’ despite invitation.

Will help in solving wars in the world: Trump
While addressing the unveiling ceremony, Trump described this board as a very unique initiative for the world. “This board, together with the United Nations, can help resolve wars not only in West Asia, but elsewhere too,” he said at a ceremony to mark the signing of the board’s manifesto. However, he did not clarify how the board would cooperate with the United Nations.
Which countries are included in Trump’s peace board?
India is pushing for a ‘two-state solution’ to the Palestine issue, in which Israel and Palestine live side by side in peace and security within recognized borders. The countries joining the peace board include Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Egypt, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. Many countries including Germany, Italy, Paraguay, Russia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine have not yet given any clear response despite the invitation.
Purpose of America’s Peace Board
Trump’s ‘Peace Board’ is being projected by the US as a new international body to bring peace and stability in Gaza and beyond. This initiative is leading to speculation that the ‘Peace Board’ may emerge as a rival body to the United Nations. Originally, this ‘peace board’ was to be tasked with overseeing governance and coordinating funding for the reconstruction of Gaza, which has been devastated by the Israeli military’s crackdown over the past two years.
