P
resident Prabowo Subianto is expected to travel to the United States next week, with the inaugural Board of Peace meeting and the tariff deal set to take center stage on his stateside agenda.
Dozens of world leaders representing 21 member states were set to convene in Washington for the first leaders’ gathering of the so-called Board of Peace aimed at managing Gaza’s postwar governance.
While the White House has yet to formally announce the meeting, confirmations of invitations for the gathering reportedly slated for Feb. 19 have emerged from several countries in recent days. Some US officials previously said the talks would likely revolve around funding for Gaza’s reconstruction, as well as broader postwar recovery efforts.
Prabowo is among world leaders who have confirmed their attendance in the meeting so far, as confirmed by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yvonne Mewengkang on Wednesday. Indonesia, she added, will use the meeting to advance its pro-Palestinian initiatives.
“Indonesia will utilize the board to advocate for the protection of civilians, encourage the recovery and reconstruction of Gaza as well as pursue a just and sustainable peace for Palestine based on the two state solution,” Yvonne said.
“President Prabowo’s presence affirms Indonesia’s commitment to playing an active role in shaping the direction and work of the board, right from its inception,” she added.
