WELLINGTON — New Zealand is considering recognition of a Palestinian state, Foreign Minister Winston Peters said on Monday (Aug 11).<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s cabinet would make a formal decision in September and present the government’s approach at the UN Leaders’ Week, he said.<\/p>\n

Several countries including Australia, Britain and Canada have announced in recent weeks that they will recognise a Palestinian state at September’s UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Peters said that while some of New Zealand’s close partners had opted to recognise a Palestinian state, New Zealand had an independent foreign policy.<\/p>\n

“We intend to weigh up the issue carefully and then act according to New Zealand’s principles, values and national interest,” Peters said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The government needed to weigh up whether sufficient progress was being made towards the Palestinian territories becoming a viable and legitimate state for New Zealand to grant recognition.<\/p>\n

“New Zealand has been clear for some time that our recognition of a Palestinian state is a matter of when, not if,” Peters added.<\/p>\n
