"You could develop further from this," he added.

Scholz also voiced hope that Arab countries, India, South Africa, Brazil, and China would attend the gathering. "I really want countries from the Arabian Peninsula, India, South Africa, Brazil and, if possible, China to be there as well," the German Chancellor added. The Global Peace Summit will take place in Burgenstock, Switzerland, on 15-16 June.

More than 160 countries and international organisations have been invited to attend, but not Russia.

On 11 May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he will attend the Ukrainian Peace Summit in Switzerland in June.
