[Global Times Special Correspondent in Russia Xiao Xinxin] According to RIA Novosti on the 13th, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at his official residence in Novo-Ogaryovo, outside Moscow. According to reports, Abbas arrived in Moscow on the evening of the 12th and began his visit to Russia. Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Nawfall said on the 12th that Abbas' visit will last until the 14th. According to reports, this is Abbas' 21st visit to Russia.

According to reports, Putin warmly welcomed Abbas' visit during the talks. Putin said that Russia's position of supporting the establishment of an independent Palestinian state has not changed. In order to ensure long-term, reliable and stable peace in the Middle East, it is necessary to implement all relevant UN resolutions, starting with the establishment of a formal Palestinian state.

According to the Palestinian News Agency on the 13th, Abbas exchanged views and opinions with the Russian side on the difficult situation Palestine is experiencing during the talks, discussing how to stop the offensive launched by the Israeli army in Gaza and other places, how to avoid the expansion of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the importance of Palestine seeking formal membership of the United Nations and convening an international peace conference.

Abbas also briefed Putin on the latest developments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Abbas said that for many years, due to pressure from the United States, the United Nations has failed to fulfill its mission to ensure the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and statehood. The international community must urge Israel to comply with relevant UN resolutions, including the advisory opinion recently issued by the International Court of Justice. He called on the international community to support Palestine's becoming a full member of the United Nations and to hold relevant international peace conferences to effectively safeguard the "two-state solution" in order to bring hope to the Palestinian people.
