General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee To Lam will attend the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in the United States from February 18-20, at the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on February 17.
Initiated by President Donald Trump, the Board of Peace follows a United Nations Security Council resolution from November 17, 2025, aimed at promoting peace and supporting reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
Earlier, on January 16, President Donald Trump sent a letter to General Secretary To Lam, inviting Vietnam to join the Gaza Peace Board 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 Vietnam is willing to participate as a founding member state of the Peace Board, 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 Party 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 Vietnam and two decades since the normalization of the bilateral relations between Vietnam and the United States.
