PNN – India voted in favor of the draft resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, which says that Palestine has the necessary conditions for full membership in the United Nations and recommends the Security Council to examine this issue in a favorable manner.
According to Pakistan News Network’s report from “Wick”, the Arab Group countries’ resolution on Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations was approved by the United Nations General Assembly with 143 positive votes, which gives Palestine special rights and privileges and asks the Security Council to favorably review Palestine’s request to become the 194th member of the United Nations.
India was the first non-Arab country to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legal representative of the Palestinian people in 1974.
India was also one of the first countries to recognize Palestine in 1988, and in 1996, Delhi opened its representative office in the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, but this office was moved to Ramallah in 2003.
