• Pakistan joined the Board of Peace at WEF 2026 in Davos on the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump, with the clear objective of supporting peace in Palestine.
• The initiative focuses on achieving a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and rebuilding Palestine in line with UN Security Council resolutions.
• The reconstruction plan includes rebuilding homes, hospitals, schools, water and electricity systems, reviving livelihoods, and restoring dignity to Palestinian life.
• Pakistan joined alongside Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, UAE, Indonesia, Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Hungary and the United States.
• The presence of multiple Muslim-majority countries ensures Palestinian rights, statehood and self-determination remain central.
• Pakistan’s position remains unchanged: support for an independent Palestinian state on pre-1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, and rejection of occupation and collective punishment.
• In a meeting held yesterday, the Palestinian Prime Minister personally thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for Pakistan’s unwavering and long-standing support for peace in Gaza, its firm stance against the ongoing genocide, and its consistent advocacy for Palestinian rights at international forums.

A Moment of Respect and Recognition

• During the signing ceremony, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif exchanged warm pleasantries with the U.S. President.
• The U.S. President pointed towards COAS & CDF Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and gave him a thumbs up.
• The gesture reflected international recognition of Pakistan’s leadership, institutions and global standing.

Pakistan’s Role and the Way Forward

• Pakistan participated to shape outcomes, not to observe from the sidelines.
• Pakistan maintains strategic autonomy, rejects bloc politics, and engages all major powers without compromising principles.
• Joining the Board of Peace does not mean automatic military involvement or participation in any stabilization force.
• Any future security role would only be considered under a UN mandate and in line with national interest and the wishes of the Palestinian people.
• Pakistan chose presence over silence to ensure that Gaza’s future is discussed with Muslim world representation and respect for international law.
