UNITED NATIONS, July 30 (Xinhua) -- The high-level international conference for the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution concluded its general debate on Wednesday.
An outcome document was circulated to delegations for consideration, and the conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, will reconvene at a later date to take action on the text of the document.
"States have until the beginning of September to endorse the document if they so wish," said the representative of Saudi Arabia as he suspended the session.
The three-day conference, mandated by the UN General Assembly in December 2024, was originally scheduled for June but was postponed following the outbreak of the conflict between Iran and Israel.
Several countries have announced their intention to recognize the State of Palestine, including Britain and Singapore.
The representative of Malta said at the conference on Wednesday that his country could formally recognize the State of Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly session in September, describing the decision as "a concrete step towards the realization of a just and lasting peace."
