Viktor Orban states that he will participate in Donald Trump's Peace Council meeting in a few weeks

Viktor Orban announced that he will meet with Donald Trump in Washington for the founding meeting of the Peace Council.

Viktor Orban, speaking at a political campaign event, revealed that he has received an invitation to meet with Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. in two weeks for the inaugural session of the Peace Council. This meeting follows Trump's recent announcement at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he introduced the concept of the Peace Council, designed to address international conflict resolutions. During this presentation, leaders from 19 countries, including Orban, signed a charter to join the council.

However, significant doubts have been raised about the Peace Council by key U.S. allies, such as France and the United Kingdom. They have expressed concerns regarding its effectiveness and purpose, suggesting that the council may struggle to gain acceptance on the global stage. While the Peace Council was initially intended to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, its charter appears to extend its mission beyond this specific area, potentially positioning it as a competitor to the United Nations in international diplomatic efforts.

This development indicates a divisive atmosphere among international leaders regarding Trump's new initiative, which raises questions about the future role of traditional institutions like the UN in conflict resolution. As Orban prepares to attend the meeting, it remains to be seen how this council will be received and whether it will fulfill its ambitious objectives in the realm of global diplomacy.
