China has called for support of Palestine’s request for full membership in the United Nations and not to obstruct this endeavor in the UN Security Council.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, said Monday, “We hope Palestine will become a full UN Member State soon and will enjoy full and?equal rights in the UN?like other Member States.” He further considered that promoting the independence of Palestine as a sovereign state provides a strong guarantee for implementing the two-state solution and achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
The Chinese spokesman noted that his country supports the UN Security Council in reconsidering Palestine’s application to join the United Nations as soon as possible, in accordance with the requirements of the General Assembly resolution on May 10.
On May 10, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority, recognizing Palestine’s eligibility for full UN membership and recommending that the Security Council reconsider Palesti
ne’s application.
