Singapore prepared to recognise Palestine in principle at appropriate time, says foreign minister

“Both sides have legitimate rights, and both peoples have a right to live in peace and dignity within secure borders,” The Straits Times quoted the Singapore minister as saying. He was responding to questions from parliamentarians on Singapore’s May 10 decision to vote for a United Nations resolution backing the admission of Palestine as a member of the world body, which it said was made after “serious and careful consideration”. “Both sides have legitimate rights, and both peoples have a right to live in peace and dignity within secure borders,” The Straits Times quoted the Singapore minister as saying.
