“The Board of Peace has been authorized by the Security Council for its work on Gaza. Strictly for that. We're not talking about the wider operations or any of the aspects that have been in the media for the last several days. What we're talking about is the work on Gaza. As you know, we have welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza and measures to support it, including the Board of Peace, and will continue to work with all parties on the ground to make sure that the ceasefire is upheld. That is about Gaza. The larger aspects are things for anyone wanting to participate in this grouping to consider. Obviously, the UN has its own charter, its own rules, and you can do your own compare and contrast between the respective organizations.”

“The UN has co-existed alongside any number of organizations, there are regional organizations, subregional organizations, various defence alliances around the world. Some of them we have relationship agreements with, some of them we don't. We would have to see in terms of details what the Board of Peace becomes as it actually is established to know what sort of relationship we would have with it.”
