President Mahmoud Abbas received today a telegram from his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The Russian leader emphasized in the telegram that his country has been committed to achieving the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent and viable state of their own, living side by side with its neighbors.
He affirmed his country’s commitment to consolidating friendly relations with the State of Palestine and to maintain constructive bilateral cooperation in various fields.
“We are ready to continue to provide assistance to our Palestinian partners in resolving urgent issues of socio-economic development and confronting the coronavirus pandemic,” he said.
The Russian President wished President Abbas good health and more success, and the Palestinian people peace, prosperity and prosperity.
The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is observed each year on 29 November. Established in 1977, it marks the day in 1947 when the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution partitioning Palestine into an Arab State and a Jewish State.
