WASHINGTON (Xinhua): The White House is planning a leaders' meeting for the Board of Peace on Feb 19, reported Xinhua, quoting US media outlet Axios on Saturday.
"It will be the first Board of Peace meeting and a fundraising conference for Gaza reconstruction," an anonymous US official was quoted as saying.
The meeting is planned to be held at the US Institute of Peace, and the Donald Trump administration began reaching out to dozens of countries on Friday to invite their leaders, Axios reported.
The plans for the summit are still in the early stages and could change, Axios said, adding that the White House declined to comment.
US President Donald Trump formally launched the so-called "Board of Peace" on Jan. 22 at a charter-signing ceremony during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Some major global powers and traditional US allies have declined to join the board. -- XInhua
