In a recent United Nations session, India’s representative, Ruchira Kamboj, delivered a compelling address in support of the establishment of a sovereign and independent Palestine. This statement reinforces India’s enduring dedication to the Palestinian cause and its consistent backing of the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people.

India’s historical association with Palestine dates back to its formal recognition of the Palestinian state in 1988. Throughout the years, India has steadfastly supported Palestine’s pursuit of statehood.

At the core of India’s position is the acknowledgment of a sovereign and independent Palestine in the tumultuous region.

The emphasis on sovereignty underscores the Palestinian people’s right to determine their political status and freely pursue economic, socio-cultural development. India firmly believes that a sovereign Palestine is vital for promoting stability and harmony in the Middle East.

India’s stance also underscores its concern for the well-being of the Palestinian people, who have endured decades of conflict and adversity. Ruchira Kamboj reiterated India’s commitment to providing developmental assistance to Palestine, contributing to capacity building, and supporting projects that enhance the livelihoods of the Palestinian population.

Furthermore, India’s support for a sovereign and independent Palestine aligns with its broader foreign policy principles of non-alignment and advocating for the rights of the oppressed. By championing Palestinian rights on the global stage, India reiterates its commitment to justice, equality, and the advancement of a world order based on mutual respect and cooperation.

In conclusion, Ruchira Kamboj’s UN address underscores India’s unwavering commitment to advocating for a sovereign and independent Palestine. As a responsible member of the international community, India continues to play a constructive role in promoting a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, fostering optimism for a better future in the region.
