Algiers – The Embassy of Palestine in Algeria commemorated the anniversary of the declaration of the State of Palestine, affirming that the 1988 proclamation marked a pivotal moment that revitalized international focus on the Palestinian cause.
In a statement released today, the embassy highlighted the declaration’s significance in bolstering the Palestinian presence on the global stage. The embassy recalled the historic moment when Algeria became the first nation to formally recognize the State of Palestine, a move that has since been followed by over 160 countries worldwide.
“The declaration was not merely a symbolic gesture, but a concrete expression of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and sovereignty,” stated a spokesperson for the embassy. “It served as a catalyst for renewed diplomatic efforts and international solidarity in support of the Palestinian cause.”
The anniversary arrives amidst ongoing challenges facing the Palestinian people, including the continued occupation and the need for a just and lasting resolution to the conflict. The embassy emphasized the importance of continued international support to achieve a two-state solution, allowing Palestinians to live in peace and security within their own independent state.
The commemoration served as a reminder of the enduring aspirations of the Palestinian people and the international community’s commitment to achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region. The embassy expressed its gratitude to Algeria for its unwavering support and solidarity with the Palestinian people throughout the years.
