Denmark recognizes Palestine as a democratic state
On August 24, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced Denmark's position on recognizing Palestine during protests held in Copenhagen. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
She emphasized that if Palestine becomes a democratic state, Denmark is ready to officially recognize it as a state. According to Frederiksen, Denmark is not against recognizing Palestine as a state, but it is necessary to ensure that this state operates based on democratic principles.
At the protests held in Copenhagen, over 10,000 people called for an end to the war in the Gaza Strip. These demonstrations were an important event aimed not only at enhancing Palestine's international reputation but also at drawing attention to peace and democratic processes.
Other countries are also actively working on recognizing the state of Palestine. G7 countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have announced their recognition of Palestine as a state.
This issue will be discussed at the UN General Assembly in September. So far, 147 countries, including Uzbekistan, have recognized Palestine as a state.
However, in 2024, the United States vetoed Palestine's full membership in the UN. In recent years, countries such as Ireland, Norway, Spain, and Armenia have also recognized Palestine as an official state.
Cooperation and balance among states based on democracy, peace, and human rights are of great importance to strengthen Palestine's position on the international stage. Thus, the international community strives to support Palestine's development as an independent and democratic state.
