RAMALLAH, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- A senior British official said on Thursday that his country supports the two-state solution for settling the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and rejects the Israeli settlement activities in the West Bank.
In a phone conversation with Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki, British Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the United Nations Lord Tariq Ahmad said that his country will continue its support for the Palestinian Authority and its institutions.
"In addition, we will continue our financial support for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)," the British minister added.
For his part, al-Maliki welcomed the British position on the Palestinian issue, especially as it faces many challenges at this "critical stage," said a press statement issued by al-Maliki's office. Enditem
