Türkiye Joins Trump’s 'Board of Peace' with Charter Signing

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan joined representatives from various countries to sign the "Board of Peace" charter, introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday in Davos, Switzerland.

In an interview with local media on Tuesday, Fidan stressed that Ankara values efforts for peace in the Palestinian enclave, The Caspian Post reports, citing Turkish media.

He noted that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, since the very beginning, has advocated a national mobilization for resolving the situation in Gaza and spearheaded efforts to that extent, including efforts jointly made by international partners.

"The board may have its shortcomings, but having it is a valuable development for us. We also value that the invitation was also extended to countries we worked with closely, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. We will assess this offer with our partners, from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt to our Turkic brothers and our friends in Europe," he said on Tuesday.

"Our president will continue mobilizing international diplomacy for Gaza. The president is always warm to ideas that would save even one life in Gaza or elsewhere. But we have to look into certain norms and we have to weigh what Türkiye's interests are. After considering all those, the president will make a decision," he added.
