CAIRO, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry on Monday reiterated support for the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state at the border of 1967, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Shourky's remarks came during his meeting with Jibril Rajoub, secretary-general of Fatah's Central Committee, and Rawhi Fattouh, a senior official of Fatah's Central Committee, at the headquarters of the foreign ministry in Cairo.
Led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah is the largest faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
"Egypt has a fixed stand that boosts all efforts aiming at achieving security, stability and peace in Palestine in accordance with the international laws," Shoukry said.
Egypt will continue its support for the Palestinian leadership and people in the current serious conditions, he added.
A delegation from Fatah arrived in Cairo on Sunday to meet with Egyptian officials and officials of Hamas, the ruling faction of the Gaza Strip, who are also in Cairo, according to the state-run Ahram newspaper.
The meeting is part of the arrangements for the Palestinian reconciliation issue, the Ahram said. Enditem
