ArmInfo. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan departed for the United States on a working visit.
The Prime Minister will participate in the first meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington on February 19, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's press service.
The Board of Peace, initiated by Donald Trump in January 2026 to resolve the conflict in the Gaza Strip, is chaired by Trump himself. The key executive board includes Marco Rubio (US Secretary of State), Steve Witkoff (Special Envoy), Jared Kushner (Trump's son-in-law), Tony Blair (former British Prime Minister), Marc Rowan (CEO of Apollo Global Management), and Ajay Banga (CEO of the World Bank).
On January 22, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the leaders of 19 countries (including Armenia and Azerbaijan) signed the charter of the Board of Peace on Gaza. Trump called the organization's creation a "great legacy" and said he hoped to achieve world peace, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that new countries could join the Board of Peace. According to him, invitations were extended to 50 countries, and 35 responded, including Russia and Belarus. The current number of countries that have confirmed participation stands at 26 (Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Albania, Cambodia, and the Republic of Belarus have joined the Council).
As stated in the text of the charter of the Board of Peace, an international body chaired by US President Donald Trump, published by The Times of Israel, membership in the Board of Peace is limited to states invited to participate by the Chairman (Trump) and begins upon notification that the state has agreed to be bound by the Charter in accordance with paragraph XI. Each member state is represented on the Board of Peace by its head of state or government.
The term of office of each member state is no more than three years from the entry into force of the Charter, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term does not apply to member states that contribute more than $1,000,000,000 in cash to the Board of Peace during the first year after the Charter's entry into force.
