Riyadh (UNA/WAFA) – The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the reform measures taken by the Palestinian leadership, including the creation of the position of Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Vice-President of the State of Palestine, and the appointment of Mr. Hussein Al-Sheikh to this position, wishing him success in his new duties.
In a statement issued on Saturday, it stressed that these reform steps would strengthen Palestinian political action and contribute to efforts to restore the inherent rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the right to self-determination through the establishment of an independent state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
