New Delhi: India will
support a resolution in the UN for providing membership to
Palestine in the international body.
"India's commitment to the Palestinian cause is long established
and India was the first non-Arab country to recognise the state of
Palestine Nov 16, 1988, following Algeria's declaration of Nov 15
that year," Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai said here Saturday.
"While we remain hopeful (that) the talks and negotiations will
lead to peaceful process of final resolution of the Middle East
conflict, India will support the resolution of Palestine seeking
membership of the UN," Mathai said while briefing the media on
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to New York to attend the UN
General Assembly session Sep 22-26.
The US has said it would "veto" the resolution at the UN Security
Council meet, arguing that any statehood recognition should come
through bilateral negotiations with Israel.
