Warsaw:
Foreign ministers of
European Union countries are meeting in Poland to seek a unified
position on Palestinian statehood for a UN vote later this month,
Xinhua reported.
The informal two-day meeting of 27 ministers that began Friday in
the Baltic Sea resort of Sopot is being chaired by EU High
Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine
Ashton.
Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski is co-hosting the
informal meeting on behalf of the Polish EU presidency.
Ashton said the EU has not formed a unified position over the
Palestinian problem, and the purpose of this meeting was to
discuss the issue, not making any decisions.
The ministers also discussed support for Libya after the fall of
Muammar Gaddafi and the peace process in the Middle East.
