MALAYSIA WELCOMES THE BEIJING DECLARATION TO END THE DIVISION AND STRENGTHEN PALESTINIAN NATIONAL UNITY
Malaysia welcomes the Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity sealed by the Representatives of Palestine in Beijing on 23 July 2024 within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and for the formation of an interim government of national reconciliation.
The Declaration is a major milestone for Palestine in establishing her national unity and reconciliation. Malaysia believes this will bring much benefits to all parties, especially the people of Palestine. We encourage all stakeholders to remain committed to the objectives and spirit of this important Declaration.
Equally important is the commitment by all parties to working together to address the challenges facing Palestine, including resisting displacement and illegal settlements, and ensuring the unrestricted delivery of humanitarian and medical aid to the people of Palestine.
Malaysia commends this unified effort and reaffirms its support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and peace. Malaysia remains hopeful that this agreement will pave the way for lasting stability and prosperity in the region.
While acknowledging that reconciliation is an internal matter for the Palestinian factions, the support of the international community is also pivotal. Malaysia remains resolute in its support for Palestinian statehood and urges governments which have not done so to recognise the state of Palestine.
Malaysia commends the initiative and concrete efforts undertaken by the leadership of the People’s Republic of China that has made the Declaration possible. Malaysia stands ready to play our part within our means to contribute to ensuring effective implementation of the Declaration.
