Everyone in this Hall realizes that peace emerges as a central and relevant issue to all that is occurring there. Although many decades have passed, the Palestinian people continue to look forward to realizing their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on international legal instruments that recognize their right to establish a State, in line with the 4 June 1967 borders, as confirmed by Âé¶¹APP resolutions and in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">In that regard, I wish to take this opportunity to welcome the relaunching of peace talks under the auspices of the United States. We hope that those talks will lead to positive results in the form of the establishment of a Palestinian State. We also welcome the European Union&#8217;s constructive position consisting of non-recognition of the legitimacy of the Israeli settlements and the decision to cease its dealings with them. The United Arab Emirates is ready to contribute to a successful outcome of the new initiative in order to achieve security, peace and economic growth in that important part of the world. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><i>The meeting rose at 6.50 p.m.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">This record contains the text of speeches delivered in English and of the interpretation of speeches delivered in the other languages.
