AhlulBayt News Agency: Japan said on Saturday it would be studying plans to recognize the State of Palestine.
Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said her country is considering plans to formally recognize the State of Palestine, taking into account the progress of the so-called peace process in West Asia.
During a meeting in the capital Tokyo, the 71-year-old Japanese politician stated that her government supports the purported two-state solution to the decades-long Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
She said Japan understands the Palestinians’ aspiration for the establishment of an independent sovereign state, and that it supports the ongoing efforts to achieve such a goal.
“With regard to recognition of the Palestinian state, we want to continue to address this issue comprehensively, taking into account how to advance the peace process,” the top Japanese diplomat stated.
