LD PM FOUR LAST

Singh said India supports a peaceful solution that would
result in a sovereign, independent, viable and united State of
Palestine living within secure and recognised borders, with
East Jerusalem as its capital, side by side at peace with
Israel as endorsed in the Quartet Road Map and the relevant
Security Council Resolutions.

"We also support the Arab Peace Plan," he said.
In the context of supporting the Palestinian cause, the
Prime Minister noted that he had recently hosted President
Mahmoud Abbas and "reiterated to him our steadfast support for
Palestine and its people."
Noting that destinies of India and the Arab world are
tied together, he said, "we have much to gain by intensifying
our cooperation with each other. We have a huge stake in each
other's success, and to that extent ours is a relationship
that is of strategic importance."
He said he would like to see a much greater integration
of the two economies, higher flow of trade and investment,
better connectivities and freer flow of ideas and people.
"This has in fact been our historical legacy, and we
should revive that legacy. From our side, there are no
impediments to a rapid, sustained and comprehensive expansion
of relations between India and the Arab world," he said. PTI
