Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

It is my Great Honor to invite you, as Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania, to join me in a critically Historic and Magnificent effort to solidify Peace in the Middle East and, at the same time, to embark on a bold new approach to resolving Global Conflict!

On September 29th, 2025, I announced the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict,an extraordinary 20-point roadmap quickly embraced by all World Leaders, including major Heads of State across the Arab World, Israel, and Europe. In furtherance of this Plan, on November 17th, the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly adopted Resolution 2803, welcoming and endorsing this vision.

Now it is time to turn all of these Dreams into reality. At the heart of the Plan is The Board of Peace, the most impressive and consequential Board ever assembled, which will be established as a new International Organization and Transitional Governing Administration.

Our effort will bring together a distinguished group of nations ready to shoulder the noble responsibility of building LASTING PEACE, an Honor reserved for those prepared to lead by example and brilliantly invest in a secure and prosperous future for generations to come. We will convene our own highly respected and committed partners, most of whom are Highly respected World Leaders in the near future.

As Chairman of the Board, I formally invite the Republic of Albania to join as a Founding Member State, and become a party to the Charter of The Board of Peace, as represented by you. This Board will be one of a kind, there has never been anything like it! Each Member State may designate an authorized representative to attend and participate in meetings on its behalf. Enclosed are the Comprehensive Plan and the Board's Charter, which is now open for your signature and ratification.

I look forward to working with you, long into the future, toward the goal of establishing lasting WORLD PEACE, PROSPERITY, AND GREATNESS FOR ALL!

With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely,

DONALD J. TRUMP

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
