According to the Vietnam News Agency, the event was attended by representatives of nearly 130 countries and international organizations. The conference is expected to be an important turning point in restarting the peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine.
During the first two working days, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, President of the 79th UN General Assembly Philemon Yang, and more than 60 ministers and senior officials from countries voiced strong support for promoting the two-state solution - a key condition for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
Delegates affirmed that recognizing an independent Palestinian State while ensuring security for Israel is the only way to resolve the root causes of the conflict. In the context of the increasingly serious humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, most of the speakers called for an immediate end to unilateral actions, compliance with international law, expanded humanitarian aid and the restoration of political dialogue between the parties involved.
