BEIJING, April 12, 2024 (Saba) - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning reiterated her country's support for Palestine's full membership in the United Nations during a press conference on Friday.
Mao emphasized that the ongoing conflict and the dire humanitarian crisis underscore the necessity for a resolution. She stated, "The only way to end this vicious cycle of conflict is the full implementation of the two-state solution, the establishment of an independent State of Palestine, and the redress of the historical injustice that Palestinians have long suffered."
Palestine had previously submitted its application for full UN membership in 2011, which it formally requested the UN Security Council to reconsider. This week, the Security Council convened to discuss Palestine's application, ultimately referring it to the Committee for the Admission of New Members for further deliberations.
