🇷🇺🇵🇸 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine Riyad al-Maliki
📍 New York, April 25, 2023
💬 We appreciate this opportunity to meet and discuss cooperation on the occasion of the Security Council meeting on the Middle East, including the question of Palestine.
We have presented our position, and I believe the debate will confirm the position of the majority of members of not only the Security Council but also the members of the UN who are in favour of urgently resuming the dialogue based on Security Council and General Assembly resolutions regarding a two-state solution with all the issues of a final status to be subject to negotiation directly by the Palestinians and Israelis.
And, of course, this is a good opportunity to discuss our bilateral relations which we would like to promote. We have some ideas in this regard.
