Shtayyeh stressed the strength of the bilateral relations between the two countries, noting the importance of strengthening joint cooperation between the two countries in many sectors, activating joint committees, including businessmen and academic and cultural exchange, in addition to strengthening them at the popular level and civil society institutions.
For his part, Ogtsu affirmed his country’s support for the two-state solution, and that Europe would work to achieve this, in addition to the friendly relations that bind the two countries.
