MOSCOW, Aug 11 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- Australia will recognise Palestine as a state at the UN General Assembly in September, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday, Sputnik/RIA Novosti reported.
"Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority," Albanese said, as quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper.
"We will work with the international community to make this right a reality. Australia is making this statement today following our cabinet meeting, as part of a co-ordinated global effort building momentum for a two-state solution," he added.
