Slovakia should reject Board of Peace invite, PM Fico says

BRATISLAVA: Slovakia should turn down an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Tuesday.
Slovakia’s government is due discuss its invitation ⁠on Wednesday, and Fico said it should not support the creation of parallel structures to the United Nations.
“I ⁠think that Slovakia should reject this invitation with great gratitude and that we should not pursue it further,” Fico said in a news conference.
Trump has urged world leaders ⁠to join his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving conflicts globally, but many Western heads of government have been reluctant to take part.
