Ambassador: Establishment of Azerbaijan's diplomatic mission in Palestine - example of friendship

Palestine Ambassador to Azerbaijan Nasser Abdul Kerim has commended the decision to establish Azerbaijan's mission in Palestine.

"It is an important milestone and a testament to the solidarity and the steadfast long-lasting friendly and brotherly relations that bind our two nations, whereby we've just celebrated last April the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The fact that Palestine as well was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan after the restoration of its independence is an example of friendship and solidarity, the ambassador said.

He noted that the Republic of Azerbaijan has always been a staunch and unwavering supporter of the freedom of the State of Palestine in accordance with international law and hundreds of related UN resolutions.

"We look forward to the day when the State of Palestine will be free, and the brotherly Republic of Azerbaijan has its embassy in East Jerusalem," the diplomat said.
