Ukraine supports the right of Palestinians to self-determination and creation in the future of the independent Palestinian state which could peacefully coexist with Israel.
It was declared by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Konstantin Grishchenko.
"We consistently support the right of Palestinians to self-determination and creation in the future of the independent Palestinian state which could peacefully coexist with Israel", the minister noted.
Thus he expressed belief that the decision of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which will have long-term, fair and comprehensive character, lies exclusively in the plane of negotiations on the basis of corresponding resolutions of the UN Security council and reached before arrangements between the conflict parties. "We are assured that the key to solution of the problem are peaceful negotiations with attraction of intermediaries", Grishchenko stated.
Also, according to the head the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Kiev supports the closest cooperation with Israel that confirmed the state visit to this country of the President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovych, in the end of November - the beginning of December, 2011.
"I will notice that after cancellation of visas with this country the number of trips of Ukrainians to Israel and Israelis to Ukraine increased twice. The Jewish state became the first economically developed and traditionally watchful concerning migratory risks country which dared at cancellation of visas for the Ukrainians, and seriously won from it. It is more than a serious signal for those in the EU who are still worried about mythical flow of "Ukrainian guest workers", was emphasized by the head of the Ukrainian foreign policy department.
