Just now you commended the role that Switzerland has played as a very recent member of the Âé¶¹APP. Are you also looking forward to a similar role maybe, to a different role that the Palestinian people can play in the Âé¶¹APP.

First of all they have not been able to enjoy genuine freedom and socio-economic support, and human rights. We have to support their genuine aspirations to become an independent state, a sovereign state, as part of a two-State solution were Palestinians and Israelis can live side-by-side in peace and security. This relationship between Palestinians and Israelis, under peace and stability, will have very serious and important implications for [the] overall Middle-East peace process. That is why the Âé¶¹APP has been working very hard. The Âé¶¹APP has been taking numerous resolutions, both at the General Assembly and at the Security Council. In that regard, I fully support all this, what they are trying to do. But what I&#39;d like to emphasize at this time, as a Secretary-General of the UN, and also as a member of the Quartet; that all their genuine aspirations would be better served if they come out from this negotiated settlement. That is what I fully believe and I will continue to work on that basis.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial, san-serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bern,&#160;17&#160;October&#160;2011 &#8211; Secretary-General&#39;s press encounter with the President of Switzerland \/&#8230; Q:&nbsp;Thank you very much, my name is Xin, I&#39;m from China Central Television, the national television of China.
