Feb. 7 (UPI) -- The first meeting of the newly formed Board of Peace is planned in the nation's capital on Feb. 19 after 26 member nations received invitations from U.S. officials on Friday.
The United States created the Board of Peace during the World Economic Forum last month in Davos, Switzerland, which is focused on promoting global peace.
Its first meeting would be on Feb. 19 at the White House, and four nations so far, plus the United States, plan to send representatives, Axios reported.
The date is problematic for some member states because it coincides with the state of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, which starts on Feb. 17 and runs through March 19.
