Message by Prime Minister on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people
On the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people we once again salute the indominatable spirit of the Palestinian people and reaffirm our support for their just struggle, for a sovereign and independent State of Palestine.
India welcomes the renewed efforts and initiative by the international community to resolve Arab-Israeli issues. We have noted with concern the developments in Gaza and the continued violence inflicted on innocent civilians.
India welcomes the direct dialogue
between the leaders of Palestine and Israel and looks forward to an early and
peaceful resolution of all issues between the two nations and peoples.
I would like to take this opportunity to
re-affirm India’s consistent and unwavering support to the cause of the friendly
people of Palestine. It is our firm belief that a just, comprehensive and
lasting peace in the region can only be achieved through negotiations and
dialogue leading to the establishment of an independent and viable State of
Palestine, living in peaceful co-existence, within secure and well-defined
borders, with the State of Israel.
On this International Day of Solidarity, I also take the opportunity to convey my greetings and best wishes to the friendly people of Palestine.
