Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Shaheen held a meeting with the delegation of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU).

Briefing the delegation on the latest political and on-the-ground developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, Shaheen expressed appreciation for the World Federation of Trade Unions’ efforts to support the Palestinian cause. She stressed the importance of continuing international trade union solidarity, particularly given that the Federation represents approximately 109 million workers from 134 countries worldwide, giving it an effective voice in mobilizing public opinion and exerting pressure to support the rights of the Palestinian people.

The Secretary-General of the World Federation of Trade Unions, Hamid, reaffirmed the Federation’s unwavering support for Palestine and for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, especially the right to self-determination and the right to establish an independent state within the 1967 borders. Kamel Hamid also emphasized the need to strengthen and consolidate cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, commending the role of Palestinian embassies and the ongoing cooperation with labor unions.
