President of the Maldives His Ibrahim Mohamed Solih affirms Maldives' commitment to fight for the full recognition of Palestine as an independent State and assures that his government and the people of Maldives will stand firmly and resolutely with the Palestinian people. Addressing the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at the UN Headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, the President of the Maldives boldly posed the question to the delegation in attendance:"what has the world got to lose by fully recognising Palestine as an independent State?" President Solih noted how he is able to stand at the assembly as the Head of State of a small country because Maldives is recognised as a State, adding that he wished to see Palestinian fully recognised by the UN, with all the benefits and opportunities conferred to its member States. "Despite decades of United Nations efforts, the Palestinian people have yet to see justice. We continue to bear witness to the inalienable rights to the Palestinian people being so wantonly violated, in ever-escalating ways, by Israel," President Solih had stated. The President assured that Maldives would continue to fight for the full recognition of Palestine
