In a significant diplomatic development, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, alongside the United Arab Emirates, have agreed to become members of U.S. President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace". According to a joint statement issued by the Saudi foreign ministry, these countries have committed to the peace-focused initiative by signing accession documents in line with their respective legal protocols.
Additionally, Kuwait's foreign ministry officially stated its acceptance to participate in the Board of Peace. This collective move comprises eight nations, each preparing to formalize their membership through internal governmental procedures.
