The Mayor of the Chilean district of Recoleta in Santiago expressed Thursday hope for a real partnership with Gaza and al-Khalil municipalities.
Recoleta Mayor Daniel Jadue hailed the efforts made in Chile to boost ties and cooperation with the Palestinian communities in Latin America.
The mayor’s comments were made during a meeting with a delegation of Palestinian activists in Europe headed by prominent international campaigner Ziad al-Aloul.
Last week a meeting hosted by the Palestinian Club in Santiago “Palestino” culminated in a decision to host a conference for Palestinians in Latin America in the Chilean capital next October.
On Tuesday the Palestine Friends group at the Chilean Parliament launched an international campaign urging the UK to apologize for the notorious Balfour Declaration on its 100th anniversary and called for the formation of a pro-Palestine parliamentary block in Latin America.
The Chilean MPs further pushed for lifting the tough Israeli siege on Gaza.
