RABAT, Nov 8 (KUNA) -- Dr Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, Director General of
the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) called
on U.S. President Barack Obama to fulfill the pledges he made, in his first
term, to support the Palestinian people's legitimate aspirations for a
fully-sovereign state of their own, as per the relevant international
resolutions.
This came in a congratulatory letter sent by ISESCO Director General to
Obama on his re-election as President of the United States of America.
"The Muslim world at this juncture is looking forward to you taking
concrete action to do justice to the Palestinian people; fulfilling the pledge
you made in your speech at Cairo University to support their legitimate
aspiration for a fully sovereign State of their own, respectful of the
relevant international instruments; as well as fostering dialogue of cultures
and alliance of civilizations; promoting peace and coexistence among peoples;
and endeavoring for a world where justice, democracy and respect for human
rights prevail," Altwaijri wrote.
He added that the world is hoping the USA would pursue a more fair and
balanced policy towards Palestinian people rights in the second term of Obama
presidency.
"The world is pinning its hope on the U.S.A. to pursue, under you second
mandate, a fair and balanced policy, consistent with the letter and spirit of
the Constitution of the United States and with the principles enshrined in the
Declaration of Independence, and upholding the causes and legitimate rights of
the oppressed and deprived people of the world." (end)
