King of Morocco join peace board as founding member

His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, has received an invitation from His Excellency Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, to join, as a Founding Member, the Peace Board that he intends to launch.

The initiative aims at “contributing to peace efforts in the Middle East and adopting a new approach to resolving conflicts worldwide,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates.

The Board is reserved for a restricted group of internationally recognized leaders committed to a secure and prosperous future for coming generations, the statement notes.

This invitation, it adds, reflects the recognition of the enlightened leadership of King Mohammed VI, and His stature as a key peace actor, and demonstrates the trust that the Sovereign enjoys with both the President of the United States and the international community.

Welcoming the commitment and vision of President Donald Trump for promoting peace, the King Mohammed VI has accepted this invitation. In this context, Morocco will ratify the founding charter of this Board.

The Peace Board will take the legal form of an international organization with the aim of promoting stability, restoring governance, and ensuring lasting peace in areas affected by or threatened with conflict.

Its mandate will be based on practical cooperation, effective action, and result-oriented partnerships. Participation in this Board is strictly by invitation from the President of the United States of America.
