Ramallah, Aug 27(ANI): China's envoy to the Middle East, Wu Sike, has said that his country fully supports the Palestinians' right to establish an independent state through dialogue process.
"China supports the Palestinian people and their cause. We also support the Palestinians to get the United Nations recognition of a Palestinian state on the lands occupied in 1967 with Jerusalem as capital," Xinhua quoted Sike, as saying.
He described peace talks with Israel as the best way to arrive at the solution, and that gaining UN recognition for Palestine was not an alternative to peace negotiations.
He further said China supports a two-state solution - Israel and an independent Palestinian state, living side-by-side in peace and security.
He said the current developments in the Middle East in the wake of Arab League Peace Initiative meeting would boost the Palestinian cause.
"The Middle East witnesses many changes. People have many chances to participate in political life. The Palestinian cause is a main issue that attracts the attention of the Arab people," he said.
"The recent meeting of the Arab League Peace Initiative Follow- Up Committee in Qatar assures the Arabs' support to the Palestinians' bid for full UN membership. This will help the Palestinians gain more international support", he added.
The Palestinians had earlier said they would approach the United Nations in September in a move to break the deadlock over the peace talks.
Sike also appreciated the reconciliation deal signed between Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and Hamas movements in Cairo.
"This move will help the Palestinians to have more countries on their side," he said.e stressed that the ties between China and the Arab countries are based on strong foundations. (ANI)
