Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev will join the "Board of Peace" proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, their press secretaries said on Monday.

Kazakhstan is a major energy exporter which borders China and has pipelines to Europe, while Uzbekistan has the biggest population in Central Asia. Tokayev and Mirziyoyev each took over from a long-ruling, Soviet-era leader in the last decade.

Trump has sought to deepen U.S. ties with Central Asia, where Russia and China have traditionally held major sway. Last year, he hosted the leaders of all five Central Asian countries at the White House.

Trump has invited 60 countries to join the "Board of Peace". Permanent membership will be available to those who pay $1 billion.

With 60 countries invited (I didn't notice that number mentioned before) this is definitely Trump's own version of the UN, with him chairman for life.
