London: Britain will not be signing U.S. ​President Donald Trump's ‌Board of ⁠Peace treaty ‌on Thursday, foreign minister Yvette Cooper said, citing concerns ​over Russia's possible involvement in the initiative aimed at resolving ‌global ‌conflicts.

"We won't be one ⁠of the signatories today, because this is about ⁠a legal ⁠treaty that raises ‌much ‌broader issues, and we do also have concerns ‍about (Russian) President Putin being part of something which is talking about peace," Cooper told BBC News from ​Davos.
