India absent as Trump rolls out his Board of Peace with 19 countries in attendance - The Hindu
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has introduced a new international initiative called the “Board of Peace,” bringing together 19 countries to support peace efforts in regions affected by long-standing conflicts, including Israel, Palestine, and Hamas-controlled Gaza. The initiative aims to create a diplomatic platform for dialogue, conflict resolution, and global cooperation. However, India’s absence from the list of participating nations has drawn attention, especially considering its growing influence in global diplomacy and peacekeeping missions. The move signals a strategic shift in how Trump envisions global conflict management, relying on selected countries rather than traditional international bodies. The board is expected to focus on mediation, humanitarian coordination, and political negotiations in high-tension zones. Analysts believe the composition of this group reflects geopolitical priorities and alliances rather than regional balance. The announcement has triggered discussions on representation, inclusivity, and the future role of emerging powers in global peace initiatives.
