President sends message on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people

On the occasion of the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (November 29), on November 29, 2023, President Vo Van Thuong sent a telegram to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Chairman of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Cheikh Niang, and President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas, affirming that the State and people of Vietnam strongly support and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle; are ready to participate in the joint efforts of the international community to promote dialogue and provide humanitarian assistance to people in conflict areas, contributing to ensuring peace, security and stability in the region and the world . The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People has been declared and celebrated by the United Nations on November 29 every year since 1978.

November 29 is also significant for the Palestinian people, because on this day in 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Partition Plan for Palestine (Resolution 181) supporting the establishment of an Arab state and a Jewish state in historic Palestine.

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People takes place in the context of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Movement Hamas, which has not yet ended, although the two sides recently reached a temporary ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement.
