Dr Balakrishnan says Singapore will reconsider recognition of Palestinian state if situation deteriorates, supports two-state solution<\/h2>\n

Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan stated in Parliament today (22 Sept) that Singapore would recognise a Palestinian state when it has an “effective government that accepts Israel’s right to exist”.<\/p>\n

Singapore will reconsider its stance should the situation deteriorate, he added.<\/p>\n

The Minister’s statement came on the heels of the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, Australia, and Portugal recognising a Palestinian state just yesterday.<\/p>\n

Singapore maintains good relations with the Palestinian Authority<\/h3>\n

Dr Balakrishnan stressed Singapore’s position clearly:<\/p>\n

\n

We will recognise the State of Palestine when it has an effective government that accepts Israel’s right to exist and categorically renounces terrorism.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
