٠٠:٠٠:٢٢President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas acknowledged Russia’s support for Palestinian people and its contribution in resolving the Middle East crisis, following a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of Outreach/BRICS Plus talks in Kazan on Thursday.
"Russia is providing us with considerable assistance in various spheres and, most importantly, the country is supporting our people in resolving the Palestinian issue on the basis of a two-State solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State with its capital in East Jerusalem, in accordance with international law," he said.
Abbas added that the talks, where the leaders addressed the relations between Moscow and the Palestinian national authority, were 'exceptional'.
The ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has reportedly claimed more than 42,000 lives, and injured over 100,000 people.
The 16th BRICS Summit is scheduled for October 22-24. World leaders from more than 20 countries, with delegations from over 30 nations, are attending one of the major economic, political and cultural events of the decade. At the end of the BRICS leaders' meeting on Wednesday, they signed the Kazan Declaration on future co-operation while Thursday's BRICS Plus/Outreach session included partner countries and organisations.
Russia has chaired BRICS since January 1, 2024. The group expanded this year, taking on new members to grow in both size and influence, now covering nearly half the world's population and a third of the global economy.
