Kazakhstan has joined the Council of Peace without making any financial contributions, as reported by Tengrinews.kz.
To participate in the Council of Peace, only a sovereign decision is required, not a financial commitment. A country that joins the Council can remain a member for three years.
The Akorda clarified that the voluntary contribution of 1 billion dollars mentioned in the charter is not a mandatory condition for membership. If such a contribution is made within the first year, it will allow the country to extend its participation in the Council beyond the three-year term.
"Kazakhstan joined the Council of Peace without any financial obligations, which fully complies with the provisions of the Charter," emphasized the press service of Akorda.
The Council of Peace is an intergovernmental organization established at the initiative of U.S. President Donald Trump. On January 22 in Davos, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the charter of the Council of Peace, with leaders and representatives from 18 countries participating in the ceremony.
