Morocco has become a founding member of the U.S.-led “Board of Peace” by signing the board’s founding charter at a ceremony held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. The signing came amid a high-level event attended by leaders and foreign ministers from multiple countries, and formalised Morocco’s commitment to the initiative proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, signed the charter on behalf of the Kingdom, acting on instructions from King Mohammed VI, who accepted the invitation to join the board as a founding member. The initiative is intended to strengthen peace efforts in the Middle East and promote new approaches to conflict resolution globally.
In the ceremony, Morocco and Bahrain were among the first countries to endorse the board’s charter, following which President Trump declared the document’s entry into force and the formal creation of the Board of Peace. The event included representatives from a broad group of countries including Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Azerbaijan and Argentina reflecting its multilateral character.
Moroccan participation underscores the Kingdom’s diplomatic role and its emphasis on mediation and stability in international peace initiatives. Morocco’s inclusion positions it among a select circle of nations committed to supporting the Board’s stated goals of stability, governance and lasting peace, particularly in regions affected by conflict.
