Reference News, January 22 report. According to AFP, January 21 report, US President Donald Trump said on January 21 that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to join his controversial "Peace Council". However, the Kremlin has so far stated that it is still studying this invitation.
Trump told reporters in Davos, Switzerland: "He has been invited and has accepted. Many have already accepted." He was referring to the "Peace Council", a group of world leaders whose definition remains vague so far.
In Moscow, Putin said during a cabinet meeting that he had ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to study the proposal.
Puvin said during a televised government meeting: "I have ordered the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to study the documents we have received and to consult with our strategic partners on this issue."
He said: "Only after that can we respond to this invitation."
The United States has invited dozens of world leaders; to become a permanent member, they need to contribute $1 billion.
Although initially intended to supervise the reconstruction of Gaza, the council's charter seems not to limit its role to the Gaza Strip, and it seems to rival the United Nations, which has angered some of America's allies such as France. (Translated by Qiu Fang)
