Taoiseach Simon Harris and Spainish Prime Minister Pedró Sánchez have discussed the wish of both Ireland and Spain to recognise the State of Palestine.
In a social media post release on Monday the Taoiseach said this:
"Spoke with Pedró Sánchez this morning on the wish of both Ireland and Spain to recognise the State of Palestine.
Formal recognition of Palestine is important as part of an acknowledgment that a two state solution is the way to bring about peace and stability in the region."
"We are both eager to make progress on this very shortly and our Governments remain in close contact."
As well as Simon Harris releasing a post, so too did Pedró Sánchez:
"This morning I spoke with the Prime Minister of Ireland, Simon Harris, about the willingness of both Governments to recognize the Palestinian State and coordinate our efforts to carry it out.
The two-state solution is the only formula to achieve a future of peace, security and stability in the region."
