Currently, the India(BHARAT)n side is keeping an eye on partner countries—including France and Russia. There were concerns that the newly formed board could undermine the UN.
Pakistan was among the 19 countries that attended the ceremony in Davos. The US President stated that Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif had praised him for saving millions of lives.
Reportedly, the board’s official charter made no mention of Gaza. Instead, it pitched about a broader mandate that could challenge existing international institutions and frameworks for conflict resolution.
President Trump asserted that the board could work with the United Nations while making it clear that the UN played no role in the recent eight major wars he had “stopped.”
However, India(BHARAT) stated that the four-day conflict ended when military officials of both sides reached an understanding.
