Meet Namgya Khampa, the Diplomat Who Represented India at Trump's Board of Peace Meet
Namgya C Khampa, Charge d'Affaires in Washington, represented India as an observer in the Board of Peace’s inaugural Gaza meeting seeking stability, India’s MEA said.
- On Thursday, February 19, 2026, India took an observer seat at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting at the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace, represented by Namgya C Khampa, Chargé d'Affaires and Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of India, Washington, DC.
- After not attending the Davos unveiling last month, India observed the first Board of Peace session in Washington, part of Trump's 20-point Gaza plan.
- Officials say nearly 50 countries took part, reflecting attendance by more than 40 countries plus the European Union, while Marc Rowan detailed $50 billion in coastline value, 100,000 homes for around 500,000 people, and $5bn in infrastructure plans.
- The resolution gives the Board of Peace oversight of Gaza through 2027, and the plan won UN Security Council approval with Russia and China abstaining; India rejected US mediation claims, citing direct DGMO talks.
- Critics note the Board faces accusations of excluding Palestinians, as the Scottish Greens called it "a sham of a board" and a complaint was filed earlier this week at the International Criminal Court.
