St. George’s, October 6, 2011 (GIS) – An application by the Palestinian people for full membership
and international recognition within the United Nations has received the

Liberation Organization.
“I am happy to indicate, Excellency, that Grenada supports
Palestine’s application for full United Nations Membership,’’ Prime Minister
Thomas said in the letter.
“The sustained efforts of the Palestinian people for
self-determination,’’ the Prime Minister added, “are indicative of the strength
and resilience of a proud people ready to embrace the responsibilities of
membership in the United Nations. On behalf of the Government and people of
Grenada, I wish you success at all levels with this initiative.’’

consistent with its approach to the issue of self-determination.

peoples everywhere, and their just aspirations to chart a course towards
building a sustainable democracy responsive to their needs,’’ Hon. Thomas said.

worthy of support.’’
