A High-Level Palestinian delegation is due on a visit to Grenada today through to Sunday, as part of a Caribbean tour of nations.
The delegation is led by Dr. Linda Sobeh, the Non-Resident Ambassador of the State of Palestine, and the Head of the Palestinian International Cooperation Agency (PICA) Vice Minister, Ambassador Imad Alzuhairi (Al-zoo-harry).
REPORT:
During a round of meetings for Friday, the Palestinian officials will meet with Governor General, Dame Cecile La Grenade and Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell.
The Diplomatic Mission will also meet with Grenada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Andall, as well as make courtesy a call on the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Ivette Martinez.
The Palestinian officials are also scheduled to meet with members of the Palestinian community in Grenada and the local media.
A news conference will be hosted by Grenadians for Justice, the local organisation that has been actively calling for support for the people of Palestine, as it concerns the Israeli-Hamas-Palestine conflict.
The humanitarian crisis and genocide of Palestinian civilians in Gaza is expected to be the basis of discussions in Grenada, as well as opportunities for further cooperation.
The visit to Grenada comes days after both Barbados and Jamaica announced recognition for the State of Palestine.
Grenada has long supported a two-State settlement for Palestine and Israel, and the self-determination and protection of the Palestinian people.
