UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has accepted the invitation from the United States to join the Board of Peace, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday.

The ministry said that the decision underscores the UAE's support for fully implementing US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza, which is critical for the realisation of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed the UAE’s confidence in Trump’s leadership and commitment to global peace, exemplified by the historic Abraham Accords.

He also emphasised the UAE’s readiness to contribute actively to the mission of the Board of Peace, supporting greater cooperation, stability and prosperity for all.
