He expressed the hope that Palestine will become a full member of the United Nations.
Azerbaijan, for its part, has decided to finance infrastructure projects in Jerusalem.

    In turn, the Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Maliki expressed his appreciation of Azerbaijan and noted the need for community support to address the occupation of Palestinian lands, and Jerusalem, and the full implementation of UN Security Council resolutions.
