Sri Lanka Welcomes UNGA Resolution on Two-State Solution for Palestine

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism extended its sincere appreciation to Saudi Arabia and France for their leadership in advancing the initiative.

Reaffirming its longstanding position, Sri Lanka emphasized its unwavering support for the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to statehood, in line with the principles of the UN Charter and relevant UN resolutions.

The UNGA on Friday overwhelmingly voted to endorse the declaration, which calls for “tangible, timebound, and irreversible steps” towards achieving a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, ahead of an upcoming world leaders’ meeting.
