India has renewed its support for Palestine`s full membership in the United Nations (UN), stating that only a two-state solution reached via direct negotiations will bring long-term peace to the region.
During a UN General Assembly session, India`s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj, declared that India voted in favour of a resolution calling for Palestine`s admission as a full UN member. She emphasised India`s historic support for Palestine`s UN membership and asked the Security Council to view Palestine`s application favourably, reported the Associated Press.
