ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday signed the Gaza Board of Peace (BoP) charter along with other world leaders in Davos at the sidelines of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended the official signing ceremony at the Congress Center in Davos, marking Pakistan’s participation in the peace-focused platform amid continued international efforts to address the humanitarian and political fallout of the Gaza conflict.
US President Donald Trump spoke at the event about the BoP but offered few details about its mandate and how the panel will work or might pursue efforts to end conflicts. He hailed the board as “something very, very unique for the world.”
“On the occasion of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, the Gaza Board of Peace is being formally signed,” Sharif’s office said in a statement. “Pakistan will also become part of the Board of Peace.”
Various world leaders walked in pairs and sat beside Trump on a table as they signed the charter. Sharif sat on Trump’s right side and shook hands with him. He spoke to the US president briefly before signing the charter.
