Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba will replace US diplomat Henry Kissinger on the Executive Advisory Board of the non-profit international foundation WORLD.MINDS, according to a press release.

"In a move that underscores the merits of global intellectual collaboration, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has accepted an appointment to the Executive Advisory Board of the prestigious WORLD.MINDS FOUNDATION. This appointment also carries the honor of taking over the seat previously held by the late Henry Kissinger, renowned as statesman, diplomat, author and intellectual," WORLD.MINDS says in a statement.

According to the foundation, Ukraine, which is now at the forefront of defending democratic values and sovereignty in difficult times, offers a vital perspective for the WORLD.MINDS community.

"WORLD.MINDS is deeply committed to enhancing peace, progress and mutual understanding by bringing bright minds together on an international scale," says Kuleba.

WORLD.MINDS brings together leaders from the fields of science, geopolitics, and business. The foundation aims to facilitate dialogue on the leading issues facing the world today. Its Executive Supervisory Board also includes retired U.S. General and former CIA Director David Petraeus, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Kurt Wüthrich, renowned historian Niall Ferguson, Princeton philosopher Peter Singer, and CEO of the Munich Security Conference Benedikt Francke.

As a reminder, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died on November 30 at the age of 100.
