UAE foreign minister welcomes UK's decision to recognise Palestinian state
The UAE's Minister of Foreign Affairs has just welcomed the announcement by UK's Prime Minister, where he stated he intends to recognise a Palestinian state.
Keir Starmer recently announced he would recognise Palestine as a separate state during the United Nations General Assembly meetings in September.
He took this step to strengthen the international community's efforts to achieve the two-state solution and establish a just and lasting peace in the region.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed the UAE's appreciation for this important decision, which comes at a pivotal moment that requires the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and work collectively to activate the political process and end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
This will contribute to enhancing security and stability in the region, while simultaneously supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which is the establishment of an independent, sovereign state, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions and international agreements.
The minister also also reiterated the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting the aspirations of the Palestinian people, safeguarding their rights, and continuing to work with regional and international partners to achieve a just and sustainable solution that ends the conflict and paves the way for a more stable and prosperous future for all peoples of the region.
