Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Saturday he will go to Washington “in two weeks” to attend President Donald Trump’s first meeting “Peace Committee.”

Although originally intended oversee the reconstruction of Gazathe committee’s charter does not appear to limit its role to the Palestinian Territory and it appears to want to compete with the United Nations.

One of the US leader’s closest allies in the European Union, the nationalist Orbán attended the launch of the initiative last month in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

“In two weeks we will meet again in Washington, because Peace Committeepeacekeeping body, will have an inaugural meeting,” he said at a campaign event in the western city of Szombathely.

Permanent members must pay $1 billion to join, leading to criticism that the board could become a “pay-to-play” version of the UN Security Council. The UN passed a Resolution of the Security Council which was approved last November by a “Peace Committee” with a focus limited to the stabilization of Gaza outlined in the Trump administration’s 20-point Gaza peace plan. The mandate appears to have grown since then, with Trump publicly saying last month that the Peace Committee “could” replace the world’s main global body.

CBS News confirmed that more than 50 countries have been invited to join by January 21. The White House did not clarify the criteria used to decide which countries are invited to join. The Trump administration has released a list of participants, but many have not confirmed their attendance at the first meeting. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is expected to head the committee, called the formation a work in progress, pointing to the Trump administration’s expectation that membership will increase.

Orbán — currently the EU’s longest-serving national leader — faces an unprecedented challenge in a general election scheduled for April 12.

Independent polls show the opposition led by Peter Magyar, a former government insider turned critic, is leading with a stagnant economy and growing dissatisfaction with public services among the key issues.
