BRATISLAVA: Slovakia should turn down an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Tuesday.
Slovakia’s government is due discuss its invitation on Wednesday, and Fico said it should not support the creation of parallel structures to the United Nations.
“I think that Slovakia should reject this invitation with great gratitude and that we should not pursue it further,” Fico said in a news conference.
Trump has urged world leaders to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving conflicts globally, but many Western heads of government have been reluctant to take part.
