Palestinian Permanent Observer to the United Nations, Riad Mansour, recently stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the Palestinian people are grateful for China's continuous support for the just cause of Palestine, especially for supporting Palestine to become an official member of the United Nations. He stated that in the United Nations Security Council, China has consistently voted in support of Palestine in relevant resolutions and has a firm stance. China has always called for the promotion of peace in the Middle East. The Palestinian people are very grateful for China's support. Mansour stated that China and other countries support the holding of international peace conferences under the supervision of the United Nations, based on international law, relevant United Nations resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative, in order to promote the implementation of the "two country plan". "China is one of the major countries that voted in favor of Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations at the United Nations General Assembly. China has made tremendous efforts to help the Palestinian people obtain full diplomatic, political, and economic rights." On April 8th, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the United Nations Security Council held a meeting to reconsider Palestine's application to become a full member of the United Nations. For many years, the process of establishing Palestine has been hindered, but Palestine has been widely recognized as a country. Mansour stated that the United States has veto power on the issue of Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, but recently, many countries have announced recognition of Palestine, which has increased pressure on the obstructing side in the Security Council. He pointed out that Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations will help to resolve the Palestinian Israeli conflict on the basis of the "two-state solution" and ensure stability in the Middle East region. This is a Security Council voting scene filmed on April 18th at the United Nations headquarters in New York. On the 18th, the United States rejected a draft resolution in the United Nations Security Council regarding Palestine's application to become a full member of the United Nations. In June 2023, Palestinian President Abbas made a state visit to China. During this period, the two heads of state announced the establishment of a strategic partnership between China and Pakistan. The Chinese side has put forward three proposals for resolving the Palestinian issue. Mansour stated that China attaches great importance to the Palestinian issue and plays a positive role in promoting negotiations between the two sides. At the same time, China has also made more efforts to promote breakthroughs in the Palestinian internal reconciliation process. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the China Arab Cooperation Forum, and the 10th ministerial level meeting of the forum is about to be held. Mansour said that the relationship between Afghanistan and China continues to develop, and wishes the ministerial meeting success. He stated that China is committed to promoting mutual benefit and win-win outcomes among all parties and helping Arab countries solve some of the problems they are experiencing through effective cooperation. China is a friend of Arab countries. (Lai Xin She)
