India Pledges Financial, UN Support for Palestinians

India has pledged $10 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority and its support for full Palestinian membership to the United Nations.




Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced the moves following a meeting Tuesday in New Delhi with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.



Singh said support for the Palestinians has been a "cornerstone" of India's foreign policy. He also reiterated India's backing of the Palestinian goal to achieve a sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side at peace with Israel.



Mr. Abbas said the Palestinians remain committed to a two-state solution with Israel, with the borders that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War.



India has traditionally been one of the Palestinians' strongest diplomatic allies.



A Palestinian bid last year for full U.N. membership failed to win approval in the U.N. Security Council committee that deals with new members.     fuente. La Voz de América, http://www.voanews.com/content/india-pledges-financial-un-support-for-palestinians/1505795.html
