SANTIAGO, Chile -- Chile has recognized Palestinian statehood, joining other Latin American nations in a push for both Palestinians and Israelis to keep negotiating toward a lasting peace in the Middle East.
Foreign Minister Alfredo Moreno says Chile is following U.N. resolutions with its decision Friday to recognize the existence of the state of Palestine as a free, independent and sovereign nation.
The decision follows a meeting in Brazil between Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been lobbying his Latin American counterparts to show their support.
