We reprint below the message of greetings that was sent from the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), which was read to the events held by Friends of Socialist China in London and New York marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
In their message, the Palestinian comrades note that China is known for defending the cause of the Palestinian people and that it sponsored dialogue between the Palestinian factions to achieve internal unity and consensus on a Palestinian government, with the aim of stopping projects related to the future of the Gaza Strip that do not reflect the ambitions of the Palestinian people.
We were honoured to receive this message sent from the embattled and heroic city of Beirut.
It has been lightly edited by us for style.
Dear Comrades
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) sends its greetings to the participants, and hopes for the success of the conference on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, known for defending the cause of the Palestinian people who face an Israeli colonial and apartheid regime, which commits massacres and crimes against the Palestinian people; and which sponsored dialogue between the Palestinian factions to achieve internal unity and consensus on a Palestinian government, with the aim of stopping projects related to the future of the Gaza Strip that do not reflect the ambitions of the Palestinian people.
The DFLP appreciates your struggle in defending the rights of the Palestinian people stipulated in international legitimacy resolutions, specifically their right to self-determination and ending the Israeli occupation of their lands based on the decision of the International Court of Justice, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of refugees to their homes in accordance with UN Resolution 194.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) points out the necessity of sustaining the relationship between us in order to defend the interests of the people and confront global imperialism that contributes to the destruction of societies and countries, as well as with all leftist parties that are struggling to reach this goal.
The DFLP hopes you continue to provide your permanent political support to the Palestinian people and the just Palestinian cause.
