His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, May God Assist Him, has accepted an invitation from U.S. President Donald J. Trump to become a Founding Member of the Board of Peace, marking a historic moment for Morocco and the broader Middle East peace initiative.

The international initiative, formally established at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is designed to promote stability, conflict resolution, and lasting peace, with a particular focus on the Middle East region. Morocco’s participation makes it the first African and Arab nation to formally join this prestigious body.

As President of the Al-Quds Committee, His Majesty continues to advocate tirelessly for a just and durable peace in the region, including the establishment of a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This longstanding commitment positions Morocco uniquely to contribute meaningfully to the Board of Peace’s objectives.

Morocco’s participation reflects its enduring commitment to dialogue, international cooperation, and global stability. The kingdom’s strategic position bridging Africa, the Arab world, and Western nations—strengthened through initiatives like the Abraham Accords—makes it an invaluable partner in this peace-building effort.

Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita represented the kingdom at the signing ceremony in Davos, where Morocco joined approximately 20-35 other nations in committing to the Board’s charter. The board’s initial priorities include overseeing the Gaza ceasefire, reconstruction efforts, and establishing lasting governance structures in conflict-affected regions.

Under the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, Morocco continues to demonstrate its dedication to peace, interfaith dialogue, and humanitarian values on the global stage. This historic membership in the Board of Peace represents another milestone in the kingdom’s distinguished tradition of bridge-building between civilizations.

As the Board of Peace prepares for its inaugural meeting, the international community watches with anticipation to see how this ambitious initiative will shape the future of conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts worldwide.
