The Board of Peace, initiated by President Donald Trump, follows a United Nations Security Council resolution from November 17, 2025, aimed at promoting peace and supporting rescontruction efforts in Gaza.
On January 16, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump sent a letter to General Secretary To Lam, inviting Viet Nam to join the Gaza Peace Council as a founding member state, together with the international community, to promote a sustainable peaceful solution to the Israel–Palestine conflict in the Gaza Strip.
General Secretary To Lam accepted the invitation and affirmed that Viet Nam is willing to participate as a founding member state of the Peace Council, together with the U.S. and the international community, to make active contributions toward a long-term, comprehensive solution to the Middle East peace process, including the establishment of a Palestinian state living peacefully alongside the State of Israel.
This is the second visit to the U.S. by a top Vietnamese Party leader. Former General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong became the first Party leader to visit the U.S. in July 2015, four decades after the liberation of the South of Viet Nam and two decades since the normalization of the bilateral relations./.
