Sweden increases its support to the Palestinian Authority
Today the Government decided to earmark SEK 50 million for direct support to the Palestinian Authority.
"The Palestinian Authority is in a difficult economic situation and risks collapse if wage and other payments cannot be made. A functioning Palestinian Authority is a prerequisite for a peaceful and sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Consequently it has been a matter of urgent concern to us to be able to give Prime Minister Fayyad a speedy and positive response," says Minister for International Development Cooperation Gunilla Carlsson.
Sweden is one of the largest donors to the Palestinians.

Danish FM Espersen meets President Abbas i Copenhagen
On March 9, 2011 the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Espersen met with the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Mahmoud Abbas, during his first visit to Denmark. This was an excellent occasion to discuss the lack of progress in the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and to listen to the Palestinian assessment of ways to break the deadlock and views on the events unfolding in the region. The Foreign Minister stressed that both parties share a responsibility to resume the negotiations and encouraged President Abbas to return to the negotiating table. The Foreign Minister also expressed appreciation for the Palestinian achievements in state-building and announced the Danish Government’s decision to upgrade the status of the Palestinian representation in Denmark.
Denmark strongly supports the Palestinian state-building agenda and has been promoting EU-support to Prime Minister Fayyad’s ambitious two-year development plan aimed at establishing the necessary foundation for a viable Palestinian state.
