The Portuguese government will announce its official recognition of the State of Palestine tomorrow, September 21st. This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country. The official decision is expected to be announced publicly on Monday.
During his visit to the UK this week, Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangelier emphasized that this issue is on the agenda in his country and that the government is seriously considering this decision.
According to reports, this step will be taken before the start of the next meeting of the UN General Assembly. Experts consider this an important event in international politics.
Recall that a few days ago, France, along with nine European countries, officially recognized the State of Palestine at a high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly.
French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that the recognition of the Palestinian state by Western countries is seen as an important step towards establishing stability and peace in the Middle East.
At the same time, the growing recognition of Palestine among European countries indicates a new stage in international diplomacy. Significant changes in geopolitical processes in the region are also expected after Portugal's decision.
