QUOTE

My Government welcomes the adoption of the “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution”, the outcome document of the High-Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, co-chaired by the governments of France and Saudi Arabia and held at the United Nations from 28-30 July 2025.

The New York Declaration is an overwhelming show of support by the international community for the permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people and for the recognition of the State of Palestine, and for its full UN membership.

It is a strong commitment by the international community to support a sustainable recovery for Palestine from Israel’s continued onslaught and to ensure Palestine’s economic feasibility and security.

The Government and the people of the Republic of Maldives will continue to show firm and unwavering support for the independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions and international law.
