Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen stressed that the best way to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in implementing the two-state solution.
In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, he underscored Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in the region given the joint visions towards several issues at hand, especially Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian affairs.
Ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in implementing the two-state solution, he stated.
Moreover, he said that the displacement of the people of Gaza to other countries has been rejected by Egypt, Jordan and other nations.
It is important to ensure that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza remains on track and that the prisoner exchange take place, he went on to say.
On Saudi Arabia, Rasmussen noted that major opportunities for cooperation between the Kingdom and Denmark are available, citing the joint desire to bolster cooperation in various fields and increase trade and investment.
He hoped that the coming phase will witness the exploration of new opportunities between the countries.
In remarks to reporters in Riyadh on Sunday, the FM said the recent developments in Syria encourage Europe to positively work towards lifting the sanctions off Damascus.
More openness is needed from Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa towards regional and international solutions to the Syrian issue, he added.
On President Donald Trump’s demand on Denmark to cede Greenland to the US, Rasmussen said this issue is up to the people of Greenland and no one else.
He denied that the people were willing to cede to the US, saying there was a joint vision to contain the security situation.
