According to news.com.au, Albanese has remained tight-lipped about the invitation thus far.

In an interview with ABC Sydney Radio, the Prime Minister said that the invitation is "something we haven't had time to consider," per ABC News.

He likewise added that he hadn't "looked in detail at it" as his attention was on the parliamentary mourning for the victims of the Bondi terror attack.

Aside from Australia, the following countries have confirmed that they have received invitations to join the Board of Peace as of press time:

  • Albania
