Ankara, Feb 18 (Prensa Latina) Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will represent Ankara at the first session of the Gaza Peace Board, to be held in Washington DC, the Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed.

Fidan will participate in the first meeting of the Peace Board on behalf of our president, the official statement released in this capital specified.

The meeting will mark the beginning of the work of this international mechanism created for the stabilization of the Palestinian enclave.

The Peace Board was established on January 22 during the Davos Forum, when representatives of 19 countries signed its founding charter.

This initiative arose from agreements between Israel and the Hamas movement for the administration of Gaza, although its mandate could be extended to the prevention of conflicts in other regions.

Analysts consulted by the Turkish press said that Ankara’s participation in this multilateral organization stems from its active diplomacy in the Middle East crisis, where it has maintained open channels with all parties involved, including the Palestinian group.

Tomorrow’s meeting in the US capital will define the first operational steps of this political dialogue platform for the post-war period in Gaza.
