PLO says France due to hold conference for revival of peace process

Xinhua, December 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

A senior Palestinian official said on Tuesday that France has informed the Palestinian leadership that it will hold an international peace conference on Dec. 21.

The conference will be attended by the foreign ministers of 70 states, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee Secretary General Saeb Erekat told the official Voice of Palestine radio.

Paris hosted an international ministerial meeting on June 3, which was attended by the foreign ministers of 25 countries, including four Arab states. It debated the revival of the stalled peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

The last round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, sponsored by the U.S, collapsed in April 2014, after nine months of futile efforts. Endit
