China officially confirmed on Tuesday that it has received an invitation from the United States to participate in President Donald Trump's newly proposed 'Board of Peace'. This global initiative specifically targets the resolution of ongoing international conflicts, with a current focus on the devastating Gaza war.
Washington Extends Multiple Invitations for Peace Initiative
According to Reuters reports, Washington has extended identical invitations to several other nations beyond China. The 'Board of Peace' concept was originally proposed by the Trump administration back in October of last year. President Trump formally announced the establishment of this ambitious peace-building body on January 15, 2026.
Beijing's Cautious Response Following Recent Trade Truce
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the confirmation during a regular press briefing in Beijing. "The Chinese side has received the invitation from the U.S.," Guo stated clearly to assembled journalists. However, when pressed about whether China would actually accept or decline the invitation, the spokesperson declined to offer any further comment.
This diplomatic caution comes at a particularly sensitive moment in Sino-American relations. China and the United States recently negotiated and implemented a delicate trade truce agreement. The timing of this peace initiative invitation adds another complex layer to the already intricate bilateral relationship between the two global powers.
Global Conflict Resolution Remains Primary Objective
The 'Board of Peace' initiative represents a significant diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to address multiple international conflicts simultaneously. While the Gaza war currently dominates global attention, the board's mandate likely extends to other regional disputes and tensions worldwide.
China's participation would carry substantial weight given its permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and its growing influence across Asia and Africa. Many diplomatic observers are now watching closely to see how Beijing will ultimately respond to this high-profile invitation.
This remains a developing diplomatic story with potential implications for multiple conflict zones. Further updates are expected as more countries respond to Washington's invitations and the 'Board of Peace' begins to take shape.
