Awami League MP Abdul Matin Khasru at an international conference reiterated Bangladesh's full-support for establishment of an independent, sovereign and viable Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Organised by Iran Majlis (parliament), the two-day conference began on October 1 in Tehran to mobilise support for the Palestinian Intifada movement, said a press release.
Parliament Speakers, delegates, political figures and scholars from around 50 countries attended the event styled, "Palestine, a land only for Palestinians."
The Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei inaugurated the conference. Khasru, also former law minister, represented Bangladesh.
