Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Special Representative of the Russian President for Middle Eastern and African Countries Mikhail Bogdanov said that it is too late for Palestine to be recognized by the West. This was reported by TASS.
According to the diplomat, the West’s recognition of Palestine is a step in the right direction. However, Bogdanov emphasized that these steps were too late. Western states have been thinking about recognizing the independence of the Palestinian state for a very long time.
Bogdanov reminded that Palestine’s independence was recognized by the Soviet Union. And this recognition was not an abstract declaration, but required concrete political and diplomatic steps.
