On January 23, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in New York with Riyadh al-Maliki, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine.
During the talks, the ministers discussed in detail issues linked to the unprecedented escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, primarily in the Gaza Strip. They emphasized the importance of stopping the bloodshed and resuming the Middle East Peace Process as soon as possible under the universally recognised foundation of international law. This includes the creation of the State of Palestine within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, a state that can live in peace and security with Israel.
The ministers also reviewed current bilateral issues. They stated their common desire to develop the political dialogue and strengthen traditionally friendly Russian-Palestinian ties.
