'Clear' Palestinian stance reiterated

Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated China's stance on Friday of firmly supporting the Palestinian people's efforts to restore their lawful rights.

"China's stance is clear and we have always upheld our claim - that is, we support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that enjoys full sovereignty, with East Jerusalem as its capital and based on the 1967 border," Wang said while meeting with Palestinian representatives from a two-day symposium on peace between Palestine and Israel in Beijing.

Ahmed Majdalani, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, and Nabil Shaath, adviser on international relations to the president of Palestine, attended the meeting with Wang.
