Sudan commends France's move to recognise Palestinian State

Port Sudan, Sudan (PANA) - Sudan has commended France's intention to recognise the State of Palestine during the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In a statement, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it considered this announcement as “a courageous and positive step in the right direction” toward doing justice to the Palestinian people and granting them their legitimate right to establish an independent state based on the principle of full sovereignty over their territories.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the announcement by French President Emmanuel Macron of his country's intention to recognise the State of Palestine during the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly next September.”.the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Sudan News Agency on Sunday.

It said the Government of Sudan hopes that other countries that have not yet recognised the State of Palestine will follow the example of the French Republic, so that the upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly will be a decisive milestone in the process of full international recognition of the Palestinian state, paving the way for a lasting and just peace in the Middle East.
